Ragged Peasant with His Hands behind Him, Holding a Stick is a 1630 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting features a man dressed in tattered clothing, with his hands clasped behind his back and a stick held in his right hand. He wears a hat and has a long coat draped over his shoulder. The man's facial expression is somewhat somber, and his posture conveys a sense of weariness. The artist's use of shading and texture adds depth to the image, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's worn attire and weathered complexion. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to reflect on the subject's story.
