Sofie Ribbing’s Drawing Boys (1864) is a highlight not only in the artist’s production, but also in the Swedish art of the mid-1800s. The painting represents a form of everyday realism with genre motifs which Swedish artists developed in Düsseldorf and took with them to their home country. The depiction of the soft light falling over the boys is outstanding and contributes to the image’s atmosphere of intimacy and quiet concentration.
