"L'aurore du travail" (1891) by Charles Maurin depicts a scene of a city waking up to a new day, with a stark industrial background. The central figure is a nude woman, symbolizing the awakening of labor, while the figures around her represent different aspects of the working class. This painting explores the themes of labor, industry, and the dawn of a new era, reflecting the rapid industrialization of France in the late 19th century.
