Seated Peasant with Jug is a 1763 ink by Jacobus Buys, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a seated peasant holding a jug, with the artist's signature visible in the bottom-right corner. The peasant is dressed in traditional attire, with a hat and a long-sleeved shirt. He sits on a chair, with his legs crossed and his right hand holding the jug. The peasant's facial expression is calm, and his posture suggests a sense of relaxation. The background of the painting is not visible, but the focus is on the peasant and the jug he holds. This painting is reminiscent of the work of other Romanticism artists, who often depicted everyday scenes and people in a realistic and detailed manner.
