Peasant


Peasant Wedding, Pieter the Elder Bruegel
Wikipedia - "A peasant is an agricultural worker who subsists by working a small plot of ground. The word is derived from 15th century French païsant meaning one from the pays, or countryside, ultimately from the Latin pagus, or outlying administrative district (when the Roman Empire became Christian, these outlying districts were the last to Christianise, and this gave rise to 'pagan' as a religious term)."
