Title: Vincent van Gogh – Man with a Spade – 1928 Portfolio Print from Dutch Period
Description:
This 1928 print is a reproduction of 'Man with a Spade', a drawing by Vincent van Gogh created in 1881-1882 during his Dutch period. The image features a laborer, bent forward as he digs into the earth with a spade. His sturdy clothing, wooden clogs, and concentrated posture emphasize the physical effort and resilience of rural workers, a theme Van Gogh frequently explored in his early works.
Rendered in charcoal and pencil, the drawing demonstrates Van Gogh’s skill in using strong, expressive lines to capture movement and form. The shading and hatching techniques add depth to the figure, highlighting the weight of his actions and the simplicity of his surroundings. The worker’s slightly exaggerated stance and the diagonal lines of the spade create a dynamic composition, making the viewer feel the strain and rhythm of manual labor.
Influenced by Jean-François Millet and the Realist tradition, Van Gogh sought to honor the dignity of working-class individuals. The imagery of the peasant laborer would later appear in his famous paintings, particularly in his representations of farmers and field workers. This print serves as an important example of Van Gogh’s dedication to portraying honest, everyday scenes with deep emotional resonance.
Condition Summary:
The print is in good condition, with minor age-related wear along the edges.
Matting and Framing Tips:
A neutral or warm-toned mat will enhance the drawing’s raw, earthy character. A dark wood or black frame will provide a strong contrast, emphasizing the depth of the lines. Conservation glass is recommended to protect against UV damage and aging.
