About the piece
Painted in 1859 by the Austrian master Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, this work captures a moment of quiet humanity amidst daily toil. The scene features a young boy balancing bricks on his shoulder while receiving breakfast from a girl, rendered with the artist's characteristic attention to light and texture typical of the Biedermeier period.
