Maid feeding pigs
ca. 1896
Fritz Boehle captures the quiet dignity of rural life in this 1896 drawing, showing a maid tending to her farm chores. Dressed in traditional peasant garb with a headscarf and sturdy clogs, she pours feed from a barrel into a trough where two pigs are eagerly waiting. The background features a thatched roof and a distant church spire, painting a picture of a simple, agricultural world. Boehle was known for his realistic depictions of German country folk, finding beauty and significance in everyday moments like this one.
