Peasant Couple at Market

Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals standing side by side. On the left is an older woman hunched slightly forward, holding onto the arm of the man next to her. She wears a headscarf, layered garments, and is next to a basket and a jug with a rooster. The man on the right stands upright with short wavy hair, a beard, and wears a tunic, belt, leggings, and boots. The background features a simple landscape and a structure in the distance. The image is an engraving with the date "1519" at the top and a monogram "AD" near the man's feet.
