Untitled 1925

"Untitled" (1925) by Rita Angus, a prominent New Zealand artist, depicts a solitary figure working in a gravel pit. The scene, with its focus on industrial machinery and the worker's stoic posture, reflects Angus's interest in capturing the social realities of her time. The painting's muted palette and textured brushstrokes create a sense of atmosphere and realism, emphasizing the harshness of the working environment. The artwork is currently housed at the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū.
