Le paysan is a 1784 ink by Charles Louis Lingée, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a group of people gathered around a statue of a woman. The statue is positioned on a pedestal, and the people are standing or sitting around it, engaged in various activities. Some are looking at the statue, while others are interacting with each other. In the foreground, a man is shown holding a bowl of fruit, while another man is sitting on the ground, looking up at the statue. The background of the painting features a large archway with intricate carvings, adding to the sense of grandeur and drama. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of reverence and admiration, as the people in the scene seem to be paying homage to the statue. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Lingée, Charles Louis.
