A lithograph by Käthe Kollwitz, 'Miners' depicts a group of miners walking, rendered in stark black and white with heavy lines, conveying the hardship and weariness of their lives.

Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) was a German artist known for her prints, drawing, and sculptures that expressed the human suffering caused by poverty, war, and injustice. Her work often depicted the plight of the working class, particularly women and children. Kollwitz's art is characterised by its emotional intensity and its unflinching portrayal of difficult subjects. She was associated with the Expressionist movement, but her work also has elements of social realism. 'Miners' depicts a group of miners walking in a line, possibly to or from the mine. The figures are rendered in stark black and white, with heavy lines and a sombre tone. The miners appear weary and burdened, their faces etched with hardship. The background is indistinct, suggesting a bleak and desolate environment. Kollwitz's focus is on the human cost of industrial labour, and the toll it takes on the lives of the workers.
