You're Next 1880

"You're Next" is a bronze sculpture by Achille D'Orsi, created in 1880. The sculpture depicts a seated figure, likely a laborer, holding a shovel, with a somber expression. The artist's masterful use of realism, captured in the figure's clothing, posture, and the texture of the ground, conveys a sense of weariness and hardship. The work's title suggests a narrative of labor and social commentary, typical of the late 19th-century Realist movement. D'Orsi, born in 1845 and known for his sculptures of everyday life, captures a moment in time, leaving viewers to ponder the figure's story and the larger social context of his existence.
