About this work

This painting shows a man in a blue coat sitting on a log, holding an axe. Around him, three other people stand—one looks worried, another holds something small. The background is blurry, but the man’s face is sharp, with a slight smile. The colors are mostly dark, with the blue coat standing out. The brushstrokes are loose and uneven, like quick sketches. The man’s pose and the axe suggest he might be a woodcutter. The painting feels rough, almost like it was done fast. Look up Maxy, Max Hermann to see more of his work.
