More about this artwork

"Sawed into Planks" is a quaint and expressive watercolor painting by the notable artist Julius Caesar Ibbetson. The piece captures a rustic scene likely set in the late 18th century, illustrating the manual labor involved in woodworking and lumber preparation of the era.In the foreground, the painting features two individuals engaging in the task of sawing a log into planks. The meticulous detail shows one man standing atop the log, driving the saw downward with vigorous effort, while his counterpart, positioned below, pulls the saw upward. Their coordinated movement and concentrated expressions underscore the physical demands and expertise required in such laborious work.The backdrop is composed of various elements that enhance the rural setting—the textured depiction of wooden planks, either waiting to be processed or already finished, further adds depth and context. A roughly-rendered building with a thatched roof suggests the workspace's proximity to a rural or semi-rural community.Ibbetson’s use of muted earth tones in combination with light and shadow play beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era, where manual craftsmanship was not only a means of survival but also an art form.

Julius Sergius von Klever was a Baltic German landscape painter.

His father was a chemist who taught pharmacology at the Veterinary Institute. He displayed artistic talent at an early age and took lessons from Konstantin von Kügelgen. After completing his primary education, was enrolled at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts where, at his father's insistence, he studied architecture. After a short time, however, he began to take landscape painting classes; first with Sokrat Vorobiev, then Mikhail Clodt.
