Wilhem Leibl (1844-1900) - attributed to, Peasant Couple

The man with the pipe in hand and the beer glass on the chair flirts with the person sitting next to him in women's clothes, who holds a distaff and spindle, and apparently reacts with surprise and distance when the farmer touches her chin. It is noticeable that the person in women's clothes has more masculine than feminine features. Possibly it is a scene of a swank in which a man puts on women's clothes. Stylistically, the picture is shaped by Dutch genre painting, which was still a highly valued model in the 19th century.
