Het inzetten van het aardewerk in de oven van De Sphinx te Maastricht 1881 - 1948

"Het inzetten van het aardewerk in de oven van De Sphinx te Maastricht" (1881-1948) by Herman Heijenbrock, is a pastel drawing that depicts the industrial process of loading pottery into an oven at the De Sphinx factory in Maastricht. The scene is filled with workers and stacked pottery, creating a sense of bustling activity. This artwork offers a glimpse into the daily life of factory workers and the industrial landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Heijenbrock's use of pastel creates a soft, almost ethereal quality, while the depiction of the workers and their surroundings captures the realities of industrial labor.
