Zwei Arbeiter aus der _Großen Spinnerei von Edam_ c. 1894

"Zwei Arbeiter aus der _Großen Spinnerei von Edam_," a c. 1894 pencil drawing by Rudolf Gudden, depicts two workers from a large Edam spinning mill. The artwork, currently housed at the Städel Museum, captures the figures in a simple, yet expressive manner, highlighting their working-class identities through their attire and poses. The use of a single medium creates a sense of immediacy and authenticity, mirroring the artist's interest in portraying everyday life. This sketch, though unfinished, provides a glimpse into the working conditions and lives of people in the late 19th century.
