Two Peasants is a 1880 graphite by Daniel Ridgway Knight, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people walking side by side. The person on the left wears a loose, draped coat and a head covering. The person on the right has a wide-brimmed hat, a jacket with buttons, and carries something in their right hand. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and fabric folds. The drawing looks rough but captures how the clothes move when people walk. Look up Realism for more about this style of everyday scenes.
