Küchenträger (Food Carrier) is a 1775 ink by Johann Feigel, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a man carrying two heavy bags, one in each hand. He’s dressed in a long coat, knee breeches, and stockings, with a cap on his head. His face looks tired, and his posture is stiff from the weight. The title says he’s a "food carrier," which was a real job in the 1700s. The artist used a method called etching to make this image.
