"Studie zu 'Der Mäher'" (Study for 'The Reaper') is a notable work by the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918), who is recognized as one of the leading figures in Swiss art at the turn of the 20th century. Hodler's style evolved through several phases, from realism to symbolism, and he is particularly known for his portraits, landscapes, and his series of monumental figure compositions that reflect his philosophical concerns and his interest in rhythmic repetition.

The study is a preparatory work for Hodler's larger composition "Der Mäher," which depicts the figure of a reaper, a common theme in art symbolizing the harvest or, metaphorically, death. Hodler's approach to the subject is characterized by his distinctive linear style and use of rhythmic patterns, which often imbued his works with a meditative and symbolic quality. In "Studie zu 'Der Mäher'," Hodler explores the form and posture of the reaper, capturing the physicality of the laborer and the sweeping motion associated with the act of reaping.

As a study, this work provides insight into Hodler's artistic process and his method of developing compositions through a series of preparatory sketches and paintings. The piece exemplifies Hodler's commitment to both naturalism and symbolism, as he seeks to represent not just the physical reality of the reaper, but also the broader existential and symbolic resonances of the figure's toil.

"Studie zu 'Der Mäher'" is significant in understanding Hodler's oeuvre, as it showcases the artist's working method and his thematic preoccupations. The study is also an example of Hodler's contribution to the development of symbolism and art nouveau in European art, reflecting the broader cultural and artistic movements of his time.

As with many of Hodler's works, "Studie zu 'Der Mäher'" is likely to be held in a museum collection or private collection, and it may have been exhibited in retrospectives of the artist's work. The study would be of interest to scholars of Hodler, as well as to those studying the symbolist movement and the development of modernism in European art.
