Het slachthuis 1880 - 1900

"Het Slachthuis" (The Slaughterhouse) is a painting by Willem Bastiaan Tholen, created between 1880 and 1900. This painting depicts a scene inside a slaughterhouse, with carcasses hanging from hooks and a butcher working at a table. The muted colors and brushstrokes characteristic of Tholen's style create a somber atmosphere, highlighting the grim reality of the slaughterhouse and the workers' labor. Currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, "Het Slachthuis" provides a glimpse into everyday life in late 19th-century Netherlands.
