"Arbeiter (Worker)" is a 1921 drawing by German Expressionist artist Conrad Felixmüller. Executed in black ink on paper, the artwork depicts a working-class man in a cap, jacket, and shirt, looking off to the side. The stark black lines and exaggerated features of the figure are characteristic of German Expressionism, a style that aimed to express emotion and psychological depth through distorted forms. Felixmüller's interest in portraying the lives of ordinary people is evident in this powerful portrayal of a worker.
