About the Item

Franz Eybl (1806–1880) "Slovak Boy Selling Onions" (1839) This captivating oil painting on paper board by Franz Eybl, dated 1839, is a remarkable example of 19th-century genre painting, showcasing the artist’s mastery of detail, realism, and human expression. The painting presents a young Slovak boy in traditional attire, seated in a rural village setting, holding his distinctive hat as a makeshift basket for selling onions. The artwork exemplifies Eybl’s ability to capture the essence of everyday life, depicting a subject with naturalism and emotional depth. Composition & Symbolism The young boy’s expression, with a mix of innocence and resilience, highlights the hardships and dignity of peasant life. His traditional Slovak clothing, with a white woolen coat and red accents, reflects regional identity and folk traditions. The rural background, featuring simple wooden houses and a church, reinforces a sense of community and modest rural life. The hat held as a container for onions suggests themes of labor, self-reliance, and the struggles of rural children in the 19th century.
