Peasant genre scene on Chiemseee in Bavaria was executed around 1860s and due to the very close criteria was attributed to the hand of Bavarian genre and landscape painter Julius Noerr (1827 Munich - 1897 Stanberg).

For comparison see last two  images of other paintings by Noerr.

Julius Noerr began his artistic training in 1847 at the Munich Academy, first with the battle painter Feodor Dietz, but then switched genres and turned to landscapes under the Swiss painter Johann Gottfried Steffan. With Steffan, who mainly captured the Berchtesgadener Land in his pictures, he made various study trips through Bavaria. Further study trips then took him through Germany, Switzerland and Northern Italy.

Edward Schleich the Elder Ä. had a great influence on Noerr, as did Adolf Lier, with whom he was friends. Around 1865, Noerr came to the Chiemsee for the first time, where he joined the circle of local painters around Hugo Kauffmann, who organized joint meetings in Prien as “bears and lions”. Like Hugo Kauffmann, with whom he was also a close friend, he then went to Prien and settled there in the early 1870s.

Noerr's landscapes have recently attracted the attention of critics who are now discovering the Munich art of the 1960s and are astonished at the high values presented to them; Perhaps Noerr's landscapes and animal pictures, his charming watercolors and drawings, his genre paintings can show you how versatile this artist was, who knew the Alpine world like no other and who never dwindled in joy in painting and was averse to any specialty.
