Workers is a 1917 oil by Pierre Bonnard, held at National Museum of Western Art.
This painting depicts a group of people gathered in a room, engaged in various activities. The scene is set against a backdrop of warm, muted colors, with the figures rendered in loose, expressive brushstrokes. In the foreground, a man is shown working at a table, surrounded by papers and other objects. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the figures are lost in their own thoughts and activities.
