Studieblad met schetsen van een spittende arbeider 1871 - 1906

This charcoal drawing by Pieter de Josselin de Jong, titled "Studie blad met schetsen van een spittende arbeider," depicts multiple sketches of laborers engaged in manual work. The artist, known for his social realism, captures the physicality and exhaustion of these workers with his dynamic and expressive lines. This study, likely a preparatory work for a larger painting, showcases de Jong's keen observation of human form and movement. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into the daily lives of working-class individuals in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
