Bauernbub mit Schirm und Ranzen 1901

"Bauernbub mit Schirm und Ranzen" (1901) by Franz von Defregger depicts a young boy, likely a peasant farmhand, standing in a doorway. He is wearing a grey jacket, dark trousers, and heavy black shoes. He holds a red umbrella, perhaps on his way home from school, as he also carries a satchel. The painting captures the essence of rural life in the early 20th century, with its simple clothing and setting, showcasing Defregger's talent for depicting the lives of ordinary people. This work is typical of his artistic style, known as "Genre painting".
