"The Irritating Gentleman" is a notable 19th-century painting by the German artist Berthold Woltze. Created in 1874, the work is a genre painting, a form that depicts scenes of everyday life with particular attention to social and cultural details of the time. Woltze's painting is a vivid representation of a social interaction, capturing a moment of unwanted attention that a young woman receives from a gentleman during a train journey.

The painting is characterized by its detailed depiction of the characters and their expressions, as well as the use of light and color to convey the mood of the scene. The young woman, dressed in mourning attire, appears to be the subject of the gentleman's persistent conversation, her face reflecting discomfort and disinterest. This interaction is set against the backdrop of a train compartment, which adds to the narrative by highlighting the confined space in which the woman cannot easily escape the man's attention.

"The Irritating Gentleman" is often discussed in the context of societal norms and gender dynamics of the 19th century, offering insight into the period's social etiquette and the challenges faced by women. The painting has been analyzed for its commentary on the intrusion of personal space and the lack of agency afforded to women in public settings during this era.

Berthold Woltze's work is held in high regard for its historical significance and its ability to evoke empathy from the viewer through its relatable and well-captured subject matter. "The Irritating Gentleman" remains an important piece within Woltze's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural implications.
