A Peasant Calling Out: "it's very cold" is a 1634 by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a long coat and hat, shivering and holding his arms tight. His face is wrinkled, and he looks tired. Behind him, a small figure kneels on the ground, maybe digging or working. The artist wrote the words *"it's very cold"* above the man’s head. The lines are rough and the shading is uneven, giving it a sketchy, quick feel. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
