Description

The Peasant Couple at Market shows two figures standing close together with the goods they have brought to sell. The woman carries a basket while the man holds birds, and a smaller container rests on the ground. Their wrinkled faces, plain clothes and sturdy poses give the scene an immediate character rooted in everyday work.

Albrecht Dürer’s 1519 engraving brings attention to individual expression as much as to occupation. The figures look in differing directions, and the contrast between their postures gives the pair a lively, slightly uneven balance. Fine lines distinguish feathers, woven basketry and folded fabric, making the modest objects of the market as engaging as the people who carry them.
