Wijnperserij 1827 - 1878

"Wijnperserij" (Wine Press), a charcoal drawing by Charles François Daubigny, depicts a bustling scene inside a wine press. The artist's signature style of loose, gestural lines captures the movement and energy of the workers as they laboriously operate the machinery. Daubigny, a prominent figure in the Barbizon school, is known for his depictions of rural life and the beauty of nature. This drawing, with its focus on the human element in a working environment, exemplifies his ability to translate a mundane subject into a compelling artistic composition.
