Earth 1919

"Earth" is a 1919 lithograph by American artist Albert Edward Sterner (1863-1946). The drawing portrays a single, hunched figure working in a field, with a shovel leaning against a fence in the background. The artist uses dark shading to depict the figure and the landscape, highlighting the labor of the individual in a desolate and somber setting. The work is notable for its stark realism and melancholic tone, reflecting the hardships faced by many during the post-war period.
