Aardappelrooiers op het land c. 1886 - 1888

"Aardappelrooiers op het land" (Potato Diggers in the Field) is a charcoal drawing created by Dutch artist Anton Mauve between 1886 and 1888. The artwork depicts a group of figures, likely farmers, in the midst of digging potatoes. Mauve, known for his depictions of rural life and landscapes, captured the essence of their labor in a quick, expressive style. This drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the daily life of rural workers during Mauve's era.
