"En Proletargutt" (The Commoner) is a notable painting by the Norwegian artist Ludwig Peter Karsten, created in 1910. Karsten, born in 1876, was a prominent figure in the Norwegian art scene, known for his expressive and often emotionally charged works. "En Proletargutt" stands out as a significant piece within his oeuvre, capturing the essence of early 20th-century social realism.

The painting depicts a young working-class boy, embodying the struggles and resilience of the proletariat during a time of significant social and economic upheaval. Karsten's use of bold brushstrokes and a somber color palette effectively conveys the harsh realities faced by the lower classes. The boy's expression is one of both defiance and vulnerability, reflecting the complex emotions experienced by those living in poverty.

Karsten's work is often compared to that of other social realist painters of the time, such as Edvard Munch and Christian Krohg, who similarly sought to highlight the plight of the working class. "En Proletargutt" is particularly noted for its empathetic portrayal of its subject, avoiding romanticization and instead presenting a raw and honest depiction of the boy's life.

The painting is housed in the National Gallery of Norway, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration. It serves as a poignant reminder of the socio-economic conditions of the early 20th century and the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity. Through "En Proletargutt," Karsten not only showcases his technical skill but also his deep social consciousness, making it a significant work in the canon of Norwegian art.
