Peasant Leaning on His Doorway is a 1653 ink by Adriaen van Ostade, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a peasant leaning on his doorway, wearing a hat and a coat. The scene is set in a rustic setting, with a tree visible in the background. The peasant's posture conveys a sense of relaxation and contentment. The artist's use of etching and drypoint techniques creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The peasant's face is rendered in fine detail, while the background is more loosely sketched. The overall effect of the image is one of quiet contemplation.
