This shows three workers in dark clothes on a street at night. Their faces are lost in shadow. One holds a lantern that glows just enough to light their boots. Alvar Cawén painted this in oil on plywood. The rough wood shows through the paint. The workers look tired but steady, like they’ve done this job for years. Look up Cawén, Alvar next.
