Arbeiter aus der _Großen Spinnerei von Edam_ c. 1894

This pencil sketch by Rudolf Gudden, titled "Arbeiter aus der _Großen Spinnerei von Edam_", depicts a group of workers from a large spinning mill in Edam, Netherlands. The artist's loose and gestural lines capture the figures in a dynamic and energetic way, suggesting their movement and activity. The work's subject matter and style are characteristic of German Impressionism, a movement that sought to portray everyday life and the effects of industrialization on society. This artwork, housed in the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into the lives of working-class people in late 19th-century Europe.
