"Sonntagsruhe" (Sunday Rest) is a notable painting by the Swiss artist Albert Anker, who is often referred to as the "national painter" of Switzerland. Created in 1895, this work exemplifies Anker's dedication to capturing the essence of rural life and the simplicity of everyday moments. Anker's oeuvre is characterized by its detailed and affectionate portrayal of Swiss peasantry, and "Sonntagsruhe" is a quintessential example of his ability to infuse ordinary scenes with a sense of tranquility and reverence.

The painting depicts a serene domestic scene, where a family is gathered in a modest, yet warmly lit interior. The composition is carefully balanced, with each figure engaged in quiet, restful activities that reflect the peacefulness of a Sunday afternoon. The central figure, often interpreted as the mother, is seated and engrossed in her knitting, while children are seen either reading or playing quietly. The father, a figure of calm authority, is typically shown reading a newspaper or book, contributing to the overall atmosphere of contemplation and rest.

Anker's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the fabrics, the play of light and shadow, and the expressive yet restrained faces of the figures. His use of a muted color palette enhances the sense of calm and introspection. The painting not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a broader commentary on the values of family, rest, and the simple pleasures of life.

"Sonntagsruhe" is celebrated for its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and for its portrayal of a way of life that was rapidly changing at the turn of the 20th century. Anker's work remains highly regarded for its technical excellence and its empathetic portrayal of human subjects, making "Sonntagsruhe" a significant piece in the canon of Swiss art.
