Caricature of a Peasant with a Broad Hat

Carlo Marchionni

National Gallery of Art

The image is a drawing of a person positioned off-center in an indoor setting. The person is standing with their left arm raised and bent at the elbow and their right arm outstretched with an open palm. They have a youthful face, long hair tucked under a broad-brimmed hat, and are dressed in a textured jacket, voluminous trousers, boots, and a belt. There is no apparent jewelry or objects in their hands. The background features a simple, geometric architectural structure with walls meeting at a corner and a tiled floor. The scene is bordered by a rectangular frame integrated into the paper.
