Werkers op het land met korenschoven 1925 - 1927

"Werkers op het land met korenschoven" (Workers in the field with sheaves of corn) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1925 and 1927. The drawing depicts a group of workers, likely farm laborers, in a field, with sheaves of corn piled in the background. Gestel's depiction captures the hard work and simple lives of these individuals, with the gestural lines and simplified forms reflecting the artistic trends of the time, notably the influence of Expressionism. This drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Gestel's talent for capturing both the essence of his subjects and the mood of his chosen scene.
