To studier af brændesamlersker. 1907

"To studier af brændesamlersker" (Two Studies of Wood Gatherers), a 1907 work by French artist Othon Friesz, portrays two figures engaged in the laborious task of gathering firewood. The striking black and white ink drawing is characteristic of Friesz's expressive style, capturing the figures' dynamic postures with swift, bold lines. This intimate study offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his fascination with the everyday lives of working people. The dynamic composition and simplified forms suggest a connection to Fauvist aesthetics.
