Arbeider bij een vuur 2 1904

"Arbeider bij een vuur 2" is a 1904 lithograph by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst. The artwork portrays a worker standing in front of a fire, his face obscured by shadow. The dynamic use of light and dark creates a dramatic effect, emphasizing the man's isolation and the harshness of his labor. This work is a testament to Holst's interest in depicting social realism, a style that sought to expose the hardships faced by working-class people. The image conveys the physicality of labor and the worker's resilience in the face of adversity.
