Schafting farm worker (Ewijkshoeve)

"Schafting farm worker (Ewijkshoeve)" is a painting by Willem Witsen, created between 1880 and 1923. It measures 0.39 meters in width and 0.32 meters in height. The painting, currently held in the depot RCE, depicts a farm worker seated in a field, appearing to be examining or holding something small in their hands. The overall palette is muted earth tones, with browns, grays, and muted golds dominating the scene. The style is impressionistic, with visible brushstrokes contributing to the texture and atmosphere of the piece. A digging tool is visible in the background, suggesting the worker's occupation. The background is a somewhat indistinct landscape of rolling hills or dunes.
