Workers in Snow: Five Fragments is a 1931 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting shows five fragments of workers in the snow. The central figure is a man in a dark coat and hat, holding a shovel. He is surrounded by four other men, all dressed in dark clothing and hats, some holding tools. The background is a light beige color, with some darker brushstrokes suggesting the presence of snow. The painting is done in a loose, expressive style, with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, as if the workers are in the midst of a busy day.
