Four Peasants n.d.

"Four Peasants" is a brown ink and wash drawing by the English Romantic artist Augustus Wall Callcott. The work depicts a group of four figures; a man and woman standing with a young child at their side, and a fourth figure seated and looking up towards them. The drawing is a study for a larger oil painting, and Callcott's skilled use of shading and line helps to create a sense of depth and volume. The piece is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
