Arbejdende kvinde 1906

"Arbejdende kvinde" (Working Woman) is a 1906 watercolor by Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. The work showcases a distinct, abstract style, with washes of gray and black, creating a sense of energy and movement. The artwork's title and the artist's known focus on social themes suggest a depiction of a working woman, though the subject is not immediately recognizable. The loose brushstrokes and bold lines emphasize the physicality of labor, capturing the energy and dynamism of everyday work. This piece exemplifies Edelfelt's exploration of both realism and abstract expressionism, offering a unique perspective on the human condition.
