Gebogen staande, werkende man 1860 - 1921

"Gebogen staande, werkende man" is a charcoal drawing by Adolf le Comte, created sometime between 1860 and 1921, shortly before the artist’s death in 1921. The drawing depicts a man, likely a laborer, bending over and working, captured in a quick, gestural style that emphasizes the movement of the figure. Le Comte was known for his expressive, often sketch-like drawings, which captured the essence of his subjects. This work, despite its small dimensions (105mm x 131mm), showcases his ability to convey a sense of realism and energy with minimal detail.
