Laughing Peasant Woman
1505 Pen, 390 x 270 mm British Museum, London The legend reads: "una Villana vindisch" (a peasant woman in the Veneto). This shows the delicate short strokes of the time of The Life of the Virgin, still without more rigorous economy: a flow of little dashes, crossed here and there by patches of straight lines that extend beyond the outlines of the forms; a chiaroscuro effect. The transitory moment of the drawing back of the lips and the blinking of the eyes is captured and retained.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Laughing Peasant Woman Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait
