More about this artwork

Ernst Stern's 1912 painting, , offers a delightful glimpse into the theatrical world from a bygone era. This evocative work captures two stage workers, likely involved in theatrical productions, depicted in historical costume. The figure to the left stands prominently, facing the viewer with a direct gaze that suggests confidence and readiness. Dressed in a loose, billowing white shirt with detailed ties at the neck and voluminous breeches, this character evokes the typical dress of a stagehand from the early 20th century, interpreted with historical flair.Beside him, another figure is seen from the back, creating a sense of movement and interaction within the duo. This second character is adorned in a long-sleeve blue shirt and draped in a sash, complemented by a wide-brimmed hat, hinting at his active role behind the curtains.The artistry of Stern is highlighted through his use of simple, yet expressive lines and a selective color palette that draws attention to the figures and their attire. "Bühnenarbeiter" not only showcases the essential roles of stage workers in theater but also breathes life into their everyday motions, preserving a moment of theatrical history with grace and color.
