About this work
A group of miners in blue work clothes gather with oil lanterns beside a wooden shaft frame before descending into the mine. Steam or smoke drifts on the left while a boy sits in the foreground, and the wet, reflective floor catches the lamplight. Constantin Meunier painted this work in 1882.
