About the piece
Created in 1870 by Hermann Bever, this oil painting captures a quiet, intimate moment in a rustic household. A mother and daughter are shown slicing bread, their work observed by a lively assortment of farm animals including chickens, a proud rooster, and a curious dachshund, all rendered with naturalistic detail and a warm, grounding atmosphere characteristic of European genre painting.
