Three Peasants and a Woman is a 1626 ink by Pieter Molijn, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a scene of three peasants and a woman in a rural setting. The peasants are dressed in simple clothing, with one of them holding a staff. The woman is standing to the side, looking on. The background is a landscape with trees and hills. The painting is done in a style that is characteristic of the Baroque period, with bold lines and expressive brushstrokes. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the figures.
