Confines of the Village is a 1890 oil by Lajos Deák Ébner, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting shows a rural scene with a woman and a child walking down a dirt road. The woman carries a large jug, while the child holds her hand. In the background, there are several buildings, including a white house with a thatched roof. A horse is visible near the house, and a dog is seen in the foreground. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The overall atmosphere is one of quietness and serenity.
