Werkende man in schuur 1886 - 1931

"Werkende man in schuur" is an etching created by Petrus Marinus van Walcheren between 1886 and 1931. It depicts a lone figure, a working man, in a dimly lit shed, engaged in a task. The etching's stark contrasts and detailed, hatched lines contribute to a sense of realism and evoke the somber atmosphere of the scene. This piece exemplifies van Walcheren's interest in capturing everyday life and the working class in the early 20th century. The artwork, measuring 137 mm in height and 196 mm in width, offers a glimpse into a specific moment of labor and a reflection on the human condition.
