Boer aan het werk op het land 1893 - 1897

"Boer aan het werk op het land" (1893-1897) is a charcoal drawing by Willem Witsen, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This quick sketch depicts a farmer working in the fields, captured with a loose and expressive style characteristic of Witsen's work. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the depiction of the farmer's posture and the surrounding landscape, providing a glimpse into the daily life of rural Dutch society during the late 19th century. This work is a fine example of Witsen's commitment to capturing the essence of everyday life, often focusing on working-class subjects.
