Junge und Mädchen beim Eierholen 1872 - 1874

"Junge und Mädchen beim Eierholen" is a pencil drawing created between 1872 and 1874 by German artist Otto Scholderer. The piece depicts a young boy climbing a ladder to retrieve eggs from a chicken coop while a young girl waits below holding a basket. The scene, likely set in a rural backyard, captures a moment of childhood innocence and the simple pleasures of daily life. The loose, gestural style of the drawing, with its emphasis on light and shadow, highlights Scholderer's talent for capturing fleeting moments of everyday life.
