Worn Out 1889

"Worn Out" is a painting by Danish artist Hans Andersen Brendekilde, created in 1889. The painting depicts a woman kneeling over a man, seemingly deceased, in a field. The woman's posture and facial expression convey a sense of sorrow and desperation, while the stark landscape highlights the isolation and harshness of their situation. Brendekilde's work often addressed social issues and depicted the lives of working-class people, reflecting the Realist movement of the late 19th century. "Worn Out" is a poignant example of this, capturing the plight of individuals facing hardship and loss.
