The artwork titled “Weaver with Other Figures in Front of Loom” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1884 during his time in Nuenen, Netherlands. Rendered in ink on paper, this sketch is associated with the Realism art movement and serves as a study. The artwork is currently housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
The artwork depicts a scene of a weaver at the loom, with other figures present in the background. The composition utilizes bold, expressive ink strokes to convey the atmosphere of a traditional weaving workshop. The figures are rendered with minimal detail, emphasizing their postures and actions over specific features. This sketch captures the essence of van Gogh’s interest in the everyday life of laborers and artisans, reflecting the ideals of the Realism movement.
