Peasant with Sack is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a peasant carrying a large sack on his back. He's walking alone, and the focus is on him. The peasant's simple clothing and the sack he carries suggest a hard life, and this image might be telling us about the daily struggles of ordinary people in the 17th century. To learn more about this style of printmaking, look at the technique: etching.
