Arbeiter aus der _Großen Spinnerei von Edam_ c. 1894

"Arbeiter aus der _Großen Spinnerei von Edam_" is a pencil sketch by Rudolf Gudden created around 1894. The drawing depicts two seated workers from a large spinning mill in Edam, Netherlands. The composition features a detailed depiction of a worker seated on a stool, holding a tool, while the second figure is more loosely sketched. This work showcases Gudden's interest in capturing the lives and labor of ordinary people, a theme prominent in his artistic career. The sketch is part of the Städel Museum collection, offering a glimpse into the social realism of late 19th-century Germany.
