Die gestörte, aber glücklich wieder errungene Nachtruhe (Der Floh); 14 1862

"Die gestörte, aber glücklich wieder errungene Nachtruhe (Der Floh)" is a humorous drawing by Wilhelm Busch, created in 1862. The artwork portrays a man, likely a peasant, struggling to regain his sleep after being disturbed by a flea. Known for his satirical cartoons, Busch captures the annoyance of this commonplace event with a touch of absurdity. The drawing is characteristic of his style, using simple lines and a whimsical, yet realistic, depiction of the human figure. The work is currently held at the Städel Museum.
