Arbeider op een akker met een zak graan op de rug 1874 - 1925

This charcoal drawing, "Arbeider op een akker met een zak graan op de rug," by Dutch artist Jan Veth, is a study for a larger work depicting a laborer carrying a sack of grain on his back. Veth, who is known for his depictions of everyday life, uses a simple yet expressive style to capture the figure's movement and the weight of the burden he carries. The sketch is part of a larger sketchbook in the Rijksmuseum and gives a glimpse into the artist's creative process.
