"Jonge boer met lange pij" is an etching by the Dutch artist Frederick Bloemaert (1610-unknown). Dated after 1635, this artwork depicts a young peasant, standing with a long staff, leaning on it and looking down at his feet. The piece is a fine example of Dutch Baroque art, known for its realistic portrayal of everyday life. It's currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The small dimensions of the work - 130 mm high by 80 mm wide - add to the intimacy and immediacy of the scene.
