The organ grinder
Social commentary with organ grinder and monkey
This oil painting, created by Josef Moroder Lusenberg in 1912, shows an organ grinder entertaining a group of barefoot children in front of a farmhouse in Gröden. The children seem fascinated by the monkey sitting on his street organ, while two girls watch a little way off doing embroidery with their mother - no doubt intended as an observation of social diversification in St. Ulrich at the turn of the century.
