Studies van een arbeider 1874 - 1925

"Studies van een arbeider" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Jan Veth, dating back to the early 20th century. It depicts a worker bent over, likely using a shovel, a common subject of social realism, which sought to portray the lives and struggles of working-class people. Veth, known for his sketches and drawings, captures the figure's posture and movement with expressive, gestural lines. The drawing's simple composition and focus on the worker's physicality emphasize the toil and hardship of manual labor. The drawing is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, highlighting its historical and artistic significance.
