Wever naar rechts gekeerd

Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Wever naar rechts gekeerd’ (Weaver Facing Right) captures the working life of a humble weaver with sensitivity and realism. Created in Nuenen in 1884, this painting is part of a series focusing on weavers and their intricate, laborious work. Van Gogh’s keen eye for everyday scenes and his empathy for working-class individuals shine through in this painting, which is rendered with earthy, muted tones that emphasize the somber dignity of the subject. The artist’s early work often focused on such themes, preceding his later vibrant and emotive styles of the post-impressionist period.
