Grondwerkers 1887 - 1897

"Grondwerkers" (1887-1897) is an etching by Florimond Buyck that depicts a group of men working on a dirt road. The men are dressed in simple clothing and are using shovels to dig and move the dirt. The scene is realistic and somewhat melancholic, capturing the hard work and physical toll of labor. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way he has rendered the men's figures and the texture of the earth. This artwork is a testament to Buyck's skill as a printmaker and his interest in depicting the lives of ordinary people.
