Industrie. Ontwerp wandschildering te Rotterdam c. 1908s

"Industrie. Ontwerp wandschildering te Rotterdam" (c. 1908s) by Huib Luns is a design for a mural depicting the labor of workers in a shipyard. The drawing showcases Luns’s interest in the dynamism of modern life and the changing industrial landscape of Rotterdam. The composition is divided into two sections, one representing the workers and the other an allegorical figure of industry, which floats above them. The drawing shows a range of techniques in the use of ink and chalk, producing a sense of depth and motion. This design, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, speaks to the rise of industrialization and its impact on society in the early 20th century.
