About the piece
Painted in 1919 by Henry Ericsson, this powerful oil on canvas captures a poignant moment of collective hardship. The work is characterized by bold, expressive brushwork and a heavy, earth-toned palette that conveys a deep sense of atmosphere and historical weight, typical of early 20th-century European realism.
