EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the weather-beaten face and stoic expression of a farmer from Laren, North Holland, painted by Dutch artist Martinus van Regteren Altena in 1902. The man, dressed in traditional work clothes, is shown indoors, with the dim light of a kerosene or paraffin lamp illuminating his furrowed brow and the room. His ears are pierced with simple earrings, a common practice among rural laborers of the time. The oil on canvas painting, a testament to the agricultural heritage of the Netherlands, showcases the physical demands and hardships of farm work in the early 20th century. The man's deeply lined face, creased with the passage of time and the rigors of his occupation, conveys a sense of resilience and determination. The muted colors and subtle textures of the painting add to its authenticity, transporting us back to a bygone era. This powerful portrait, held in the collections of the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the lives of the farm laborers who played a crucial role in the agricultural industry of the Low Countries during the 1900s.
