The artwork, titled “The Worker Sitting” by Fernand Léger, is a painting that belongs to the Cubism art movement. This portrait, measuring 200 x 302 cm, is currently housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
In this composition, Léger employs a structured arrangement of geometric shapes and bold lines, characteristic of the Cubist style. Dominated by earthy and muted tones, the artwork features human figures integrated with abstract forms, intertwined with nature represented by leaves and organic shapes. The figures appear in a state of static energy, reminiscent of labor and natural order, embedded in a rhythmic and cohesive visual narrative. The piece exemplifies Léger’s distinctive approach to blending human elements with mechanical and natural motifs, resulting in a harmonious, yet fragmented, representation.
