"Peasant from Simitli" is a portrait painting by Bulgarian artist Ivan Mrkviсka. The artwork depicts a seated elderly man wearing traditional Bulgarian clothing. The man's weathered face and worn clothing suggest a life of hard work and simple living, characteristic of peasant life in the early 20th century. Mrkviсka, known for his realistic portrayal of Bulgarian life, skillfully captures the subject's character and the details of their attire. The painting offers a glimpse into Bulgarian peasant life, a common theme in Mrkviсka's oeuvre.
