Fritz Zuber-Buhler (1822–1896) was a Swiss-born artist known for his detailed and emotive genre paintings, often depicting scenes of everyday life imbued with a sense of romanticism and sentimentality. One of his notable works is "Eselsohren" (translated as "Penitence"), which exemplifies his skill in capturing the subtleties of human emotion and the intricacies of domestic scenes.

"Eselsohren" portrays a young girl in a moment of reflection and remorse, a common theme in Zuber-Buhler's oeuvre that underscores his interest in the moral and emotional development of his subjects. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, from the textures of the girl's clothing to the delicate play of light and shadow that brings the scene to life. Zuber-Buhler's use of color and composition not only highlights the central figure but also creates a sense of intimacy and immediacy, drawing the viewer into the girl's world.

The title "Eselsohren" refers to the practice of folding the corners of book pages to mark one's place, which in the context of this painting, symbolizes a moment of learning or realization. This subtle metaphor adds a layer of depth to the work, inviting viewers to contemplate the nature of penitence and personal growth.

Zuber-Buhler's ability to convey complex emotions through his art has earned him a place among the notable genre painters of the 19th century. His works, including "Eselsohren," continue to be appreciated for their technical excellence and their poignant exploration of the human condition. The painting remains a testament to Zuber-Buhler's talent for blending narrative and visual beauty, making it a significant piece in the study of 19th-century European art.
