Lumberman 

Ferdinand Hodler's "Lumberman" depicts a woodcutter in the midst of his work. The powerful pose of the figure, accentuated by the downward motion of the axe, captures the strength and dynamism of the laborer. The simplified lines and hatched shading create a sense of immediacy and intensity, characteristic of Hodler's style. The piece reflects his interest in capturing the essence of everyday human activities. Hodler, a Swiss Symbolist painter, often used his art to express his fascination with the human form and its relationship to nature.
