Two Peasants

Workshop of Andrea Mantegna

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures wearing hats and holding walking sticks. The drawing shows two individuals in motion, with a focus on their attire and posture. They are wearing robes or cloaks, along with large hats shielding their faces. Their expressions convey movement or conversation, with one figure looking upward adjusting his hat, while the other looks sideways. The sketch is created with simple line work, giving texture to their clothing, emphasizing the folds and creases. The background is plain.
