Albrecht Dürer's "Peasants at the Market" is an intricate engraving depicting a man and woman dressed in traditional peasant garb. Created in 1519, the work showcases Dürer's masterful use of line and detail, capturing the texture of their clothing and the subtle expressions on their faces. The woman holds a basket of eggs and a jug, while the man stands with a bow and arrow slung over his shoulder, suggesting their roles in rural life. This artwork is a prime example of Dürer's skill in both technical precision and the portrayal of human nature, making it a popular and recognizable piece in the history of art.
