"Der Zitherspieler" (The Zither Player) is a painting by the Austrian artist Franz von Defregger (1835–1921), who was known for his genre paintings focusing on Tyrolean life and culture. This work, like many of Defregger's pieces, captures a scene from rural life in the 19th century, showcasing a musician playing the zither, a stringed instrument popular in the Alpine regions of Europe. The painting is a fine example of Defregger's attention to detail and his ability to convey the cultural essence of his subjects through art.

The composition typically features the zither player as the central figure, often depicted with a sense of concentration and musical engagement, surrounded by an audience that reflects the social and communal aspects of music-making in Tyrolean society. The artwork is characterized by Defregger's realistic portrayal of the figures, the traditional clothing, and the interior setting, which together create a vivid narrative scene.

As a prominent member of the Munich School, Defregger's works were highly regarded for their portrayal of peasant life, and "Der Zitherspieler" is no exception. It exemplifies the genre painting tradition of the late 19th century, where artists sought to depict the everyday lives of people, often idealizing their subjects to some extent. The painting not only serves as a visual record of the period's musical practice but also reflects the broader cultural identity of the Tyrolean people during the artist's lifetime.

"Der Zitherspieler" is part of Defregger's legacy that contributed to the romanticized view of rural life in art. His works are held in various collections and museums, and they continue to be studied for their cultural and historical significance as well as their artistic merit. The exact date of creation for "Der Zitherspieler" is not always specified, but it falls within the prolific period of Defregger's career when he produced many of his most acclaimed works.
