Sheet of two slight studies: one of two peasants 1859

This small etching by Léopold Flameng from 1859 features two studies of peasants. The slight but detailed sketches demonstrate Flameng's mastery of capturing the essence of his subjects with minimal lines. The artist, known for his black and white work, primarily focused on subjects of everyday life, often depicting rural scenes and the working class. These studies highlight his skill in capturing the human form with a sense of immediacy and observation, creating a snapshot of peasant life in 19th-century France.
