Interieur van het gebouw van de Hulpmunt in Utrecht met arbeiders 1855

"Interieur van het gebouw van de Hulpmunt in Utrecht met arbeiders" (Interior of the Hulpmunt building in Utrecht with workers), created in 1855 by Dutch artist Dirk van Lokhorst, is a detailed lithograph depicting the interior of a factory in Utrecht. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the working conditions of the time, showing a long room filled with workers operating machinery and a complex system of belts and gears overhead. This realistic depiction, characteristic of van Lokhorst's style, captures the hustle and bustle of industrial life in 19th-century Netherlands.
