Drie grondwerkers c. 1885

"Drie grondwerkers" (Three Ground Workers) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created around 1885. The work depicts three figures, likely laborers, engaged in their tasks, captured in a quick and gestural style characteristic of Breitner's work. The drawing's loose lines and expressive strokes highlight the artist's focus on capturing the energy and movement of everyday life. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Breitner's mastery of charcoal and his ability to convey human figures with a remarkable sense of immediacy.
