About this work

This image depicts a man carrying a large basket on his back, with one hand resting on his head and the other holding a hat. He is dressed in a loose-fitting shirt, shorts, and shoes, and appears to be in motion. The man's attire and the basket suggest that he may be a vendor or laborer, possibly selling goods from the basket. The image is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with intricate lines and shading that give the scene a sense of depth and texture. The image is an engraving with etching on laid paper, created by Johann Feigel in 1775. It is part of the Romanticism movement and is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
