Funeral of a Pauper in Germany is a 1874 oil by Franz Streitt, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a horse-drawn cart in a barren landscape. The figures are dressed in dark, somber clothing, and the atmosphere appears mournful. In the background, there are bare trees and a low wall, with a few buildings visible in the distance. The scene is rendered in muted colors, with an emphasis on earth tones and dark shadows. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured, almost rough quality. The overall mood is one of solemnity and respect. The artist's use of chiaroscuro adds depth and volume to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures.
