Boer op weg naar de markt 1520

"Boer op weg naar de markt" (1520) is a small-scale woodcut by German artist Sebald Beham (1500-1550). The print shows a peasant, carrying a large basket of eggs, a dead rabbit, and a pole on his shoulder, striding through a landscape. This work is an example of Beham's masterful depiction of everyday life in sixteenth-century Germany. The detail of the peasant's clothing and the landscape further demonstrate the artist’s meticulous attention to detail, which was typical of the Northern Renaissance style. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
