The artwork depicts a close-up portrait of a Breton peasant, highlighting their simple features and traditional clothing. The delicate lines and hatching create a sense of realism and capture the subject's character. Jacque's etching is a fine example of the artist's mastery of the medium and his interest in portraying rural life and everyday subjects.
