Boy at the Spring 1923

"Boy at the Spring" (1923) by Austrian painter Albin Egger-Lienz portrays a pair of young men in a field, likely a scene from rural life. The painting is a characteristic example of Egger-Lienz's style, known for depicting the everyday life of the common people, often with a touch of melancholy. The figures are rendered in a realistic manner, with a focus on their physicality and posture. The warm palette and loose brushstrokes create a sense of tranquility and intimacy, drawing the viewer into the simple yet powerful scene.
