Digger 1881

Vincent van Gogh's "Digger" (1881) is a charcoal drawing that captures the essence of a peasant laborer, likely in the fields of the Netherlands. Van Gogh's characteristic bold strokes convey the figure's physical exertion and the textured landscape. This drawing, created early in his career, reveals a commitment to depicting the lives of the working class, a theme that would continue throughout his artistic journey.
