Landscape with a Peasant Carrying Firewood is a 1800 ink by Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet forest scene with tall, leafy trees framing a path. A person walks along the ground, carrying a bundle of firewood on their back. The background fades into a distant landscape with rolling hills and a few small buildings. The blue-tinted paper makes the dark lines of the trees pop against the sky. The artist used fine details to show the texture of bark and the play of light through the leaves. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one create prints with acid and metal plates.
