Freitag - Wiesenplan vor Aigen bey Salzburg (Meadow before Aigen near Salzburg) is a 1823 ink by Ferdinand Olivier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a quiet meadow with three people working. A woman kneels in the grass, gathering plants. Two men stand nearby, one holding a hat and the other a walking stick. In the background, a small chapel sits beside a tree, while distant mountains rise over the flat land. The word "Freitag" (Friday) and "Wiesenplan vor Aigen bey Salzburg" (Meadow before Aigen near Salzburg) are written at the bottom, hinting at a specific place and day.
