More about this artwork

Henri Martin's evocative sketch "Workman on a Ladder" captures the essence of daily labor with a poignant simplicity and tactile realism. This drawing, rendered primarily in charcoal, showcases a lone workman, immersed in his task. Clad in traditional workwear, with his hat pulled low to shade his eyes, the workman's focus is directed at the object before him, likely engaged in some form of carpentry or maintenance work.The rough texture of the workman’s clothing and the wooden ladder on which he stands are depicted with keen attention to the interplay of light and shadow, highlighting Martin’s mastery in portraying the rugged beauty of labor. Martin's strokes are both fluid and deliberate, suggesting the movement and physicality of manual work.This piece, while simple, speaks volumes about the dignity of work and the profound, often overlooked beauty found in everyday tasks.

Henri-Jean Guillaume "Henri" Martin (5 August 1860 – 12 November 1943) was a French painter. Elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1917, he is known for his early 1920s work on the walls of the Salle de l'Assemblée générale, where the members of the Conseil d'État meet in the Palais-Royal in Paris. Other notable institutions that have featured his Post-Impressionist paintings in their halls through public procurement include the Élysée Palace, Sorbonne, Hôtel de Ville de Paris, Palais de Justice de Paris, as well as Capitole de Toulouse, although the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux and Musée des Augustins also have sizeable public collections.
