  • Four children tie their firewood collected from the forest into bundles to carry home. They are barefoot and wearing rags. After shouldering his heavy load, one of the children takes a short break in the sun. Landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes, especially in rural settings, are among the favorite subjects of Viennese artist Anton Filkuka. Fikulka primarily followed a realistic approach to art and paid little attention to modernist trends. His works, which address social conditions, were also greatly influenced by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller.
