About this work

An etching titled Heiwerker naar rechts, made by Willem Witsen around 1870, shows two laborers working across a rough, stony terrain under an overcast sky. In the foreground a stooped figure in dark clothing bends over the ground, while a second figure stands farther back on a rise, and a small distant figure appears near the horizon. The dense, varied hatching and strong dark-light contrast define the rocks, earth, and sky.
