About the piece

Painted in 1917 by Hans Baluschek, this work captures the stark reality of life and labor during the First World War. The composition juxtaposes the cold, snowy industrial background of smokestacks and railways with the weary, dignified faces of figures in the foreground, rendered in a detailed and atmospheric social realist style.
