"The Early Ploughman" is an etching created by British artist Samuel Palmer (1805–1881), who was associated with the Romantic movement and known for his idyllic and pastoral landscapes. The work is part of a series of six etchings known as the "English Version of The Eclogues of Virgil," which Palmer produced between 1857 and 1858. This particular etching, often celebrated for its rich tonality and intricate detail, depicts a pastoral scene at dawn with a ploughman beginning his day's work.

In "The Early Ploughman," Palmer employs a masterful use of light and shadow to evoke the serene and mystical qualities of the English countryside. The composition features a ploughman with his team of oxen, laboring in the foreground, while the background is filled with the rolling hills and trees that typify Palmer's landscapes. The rising sun, a recurring motif in Palmer's work, casts a warm glow over the scene, symbolizing the promise of a new day and the enduring cycle of rural life.

Palmer's work during this period was heavily influenced by his admiration for the poetry of John Milton and the art of William Blake, both of whom inspired his visionary approach to landscape. "The Early Ploughman" is often noted for its evocative portrayal of the English countryside, which Palmer saw as a timeless and spiritual haven, in contrast to the rapidly industrializing society of his time.

The etching is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its embodiment of Palmer's deeply personal and poetic vision of nature. It is considered one of the key works in Palmer's oeuvre and an important example of British Romantic printmaking. "The Early Ploughman" is held in various collections, including the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance.
