Hermann Kätelhön, Two Miners

This exquisite woodcut by German illustrator Herman Kätelhön (1884-1940) depicts two miners. They stand before the entrance of a mine - both with rugged features and tired expressions.

Between 1918 and 1940, Kätelhön produced various etchings and lithographs describing the ever-industrialised German landscape and the workers labouring within it. He held a deep respect for the mining community and immersed himself in its claustrophobic underground world.

Signed in pencil, framed and glazed.
