Peasants Carrying Fagots is a 1896 by Camille Pissarro, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people bent over, carrying bundles of sticks on their backs. They walk through a field with dry grass and a few bushes. The lines are rough and dark, almost like quick scribbles. The artist focused on their tired, hunched posture. This was a common theme for Pissarro—showing hard work in everyday life. Look up Realism next to see more art about ordinary people.
