Man with Wheelbarrow (Le paysan rentrant du fumier) is a 1855 ink by Jean François Millet, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man walking toward a stone wall, pulling a wheelbarrow. His clothes are loose, and he wears a hat. The ground looks rough, and trees with tangled branches fill the background. The artist used quick, scratchy lines to show light and shadow. This style makes the scene feel busy and real. Want to see more? Check out etching to learn how artists create prints like this.
