-----------------------
Severin Nilson var förutom målare en av de första svenska dokumentärfotograferna i en realistisk tradition. Inspirerad av Artur Hazelius utförde han fotografiska studier av folklivet, framförallt i byn Asige i Halland där han var född. Den aktuella målningen är ett tidigt verk, troligtvis utförd på 1880-90 talet. I likhet med många andra av hans målningar, har troligtvis ett fotografi legat till grunden för målningen. Nilsons dokumentation av lokalbefolkningen och deras seder och bruk har stort dokumentariskt värde. Hans fascination för byggnader som utgjorde del av lokalbefolkningens liv, har i sig ett stort värde då många av dessa i dag gått förlorade.
