A Peasant carrying a Rod over his Shoulder is a 1660 oil by David Teniers the Younger, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting depicts a peasant walking along a path, carrying a long rod over his shoulder. He is dressed in a hat, jacket, and boots, with a building visible in the background. The peasant's attire and the rod he carries suggest a rural or agricultural setting. The painting's use of oil paint and its style are reminiscent of 17th-century Flemish art. The artist's attention to detail and use of chiaroscuro create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. For more on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up David Teniers the Younger.
David Teniers the Younger or David Teniers II was a Flemish Baroque painter, printmaker, and artist.
