Weaver 1884

"Weaver" (1884) is a drawing by Vincent van Gogh, now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. It depicts a weaver at work, captured in a dark and somewhat austere setting. The artist's characteristic expressive lines are evident, particularly in the depiction of the loom and the figure's clothing, conveying a sense of both precision and intensity. The subject's focused gaze and the overall sense of confinement within the workshop create a sense of quiet determination. This work exemplifies van Gogh's fascination with the working class and their daily lives, a theme that he frequently explored in his art.
