Female Peasant Carrying a Basket and Hay

Auguste Giraudon

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of a woman wearing a headscarf and dress, carrying a large basket in her right hand and a bundle of hay or straw on her back. The woman is viewed from the side, her body facing right. She has her right arm extended downward, gripping the handle of the basket. The basket is large and rectangular with a handle. The bundle on her back appears to be made of dried plants or grasses. The background is dark and blurry, with some lighter areas that may be smoke or fog. A small number "168" is visible in the bottom-left corner.
