About the piece

This 1854 work by Friedrich Carl von Scheidlin is a masterly study of character and form. Depicting a man in traditional European rustic dress—distinguished by a feathered hat and buckled shoes—the scene captures a quiet moment of repose with a smoking pipe and a large ceramic jug.
