Vincent van Gogh's 'The Digger' (1880) is a pencil, pen, and ink drawing depicting a labourer digging in a field. The work reflects Van Gogh's early interest in portraying the lives of working-class people.

This drawing by Vincent van Gogh, titled 'The Digger', dates from 1880. Executed in pencil, pen, and ink on paper, it depicts a labourer digging in a field. The figure is bent over, his form conveying the physical exertion of the task. He wears clogs and a cap, clothing typical of rural workers of the period. The composition is simple, with the figure occupying the foreground and a sparse background suggesting a field and distant buildings. A slender tree stands to the right, adding a vertical element to the scene. Van Gogh's use of line is evident in the shading and detailing of the figure's clothing and the surrounding environment. The limited tonal range, primarily in shades of grey and black, contributes to the work's sombre mood. 'The Digger' reflects Van Gogh's early interest in portraying the lives of working-class people, a theme that recurs in his later works. This drawing provides insight into his artistic development and his empathy for the struggles of rural labourers.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
