Mule Driver n.d.

Mariano Fortuny Marsal's "Mule Driver" is a small etching, likely created during the artist's lifetime between 1838 and 1874. It showcases a single figure, a mule driver, with a thick, textured application of ink, highlighting the starkness and ruggedness of the individual's visage. The piece is a portrait of a working-class individual, echoing the social realism themes common in Fortuny's work, and can be found in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
