1704
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Two Peasants is a 1704 by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people sitting on a rocky ledge. The person on the left wears a loose dress and a headscarf, leaning back with one arm resting on their knee. The person on the right has a jacket with buttons, a tie, and a hat, sitting forward with one leg bent. Behind them, a faint hill and trees are drawn in quick, light lines. The artist used soft shading to separate light and shadow, giving the figures a three-dimensional feel. This style was common in etchings of the time. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this technique works.
Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (August 30, 1727 – March 3, 1804) was an Italian painter and printmaker in etching. He was the son of artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and elder brother of Lorenzo Baldissera Tiepolo.
