Workers in Snow is a 1909 charcoal by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting shows three men standing together in the snow. They are dressed in dark clothing and hats, with one man holding a shovel. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with the snow-covered ground and the men's dark attire creating a somber mood. In the background, there are some indistinct shapes that may be trees or buildings, but they are not clearly defined. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the men standing together in the cold winter landscape. The painting's use of tempera adds a sense of texture and depth to the scene. For more on this technique, look up tempera.
