Peasant with Shovel on His Shoulder is a 1621 ink by Edouard Eckman, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a man standing on a hill, looking down at a small village in the distance. He is dressed in a hat, shirt, and pants, and has a shovel slung over his shoulder. The man's posture suggests that he is taking a moment to rest and gaze out at the scenery. The background of the image features a simple, yet effective, use of lines and shading to create a sense of depth and texture. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the painting.
