Get the label of a partition

Hello.

I'm trying to get the label from a NTFS partition.

I do fdisk -l and I see the partitions, but not the label.

How can I get the label ? For example, from dev/sda1

I have seen commands for change the label but not for read it only.

Thanks

"blkid" may work depending on your distro - else try "ls -l /dev/disk/by-label"
