A Cosey Corner

Frank Millet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a young woman in a white floral dress sitting on a low stone bench in front of a window. The woman's dress has short puffy sleeves and a full skirt. She is wearing a blue head covering and has blonde hair. Her right hand holds a dark-colored mug, and her left hand touches a white curtain on the window. The window has a wooden frame and multiple panes. The wall behind the woman is brown, and a shelf above her contains various objects, including a rifle, a bottle, and other items. To her left is a fireplace with a fire burning inside and a small table beside it. The floor is made of stone tiles. Outside the window, greenery is visible. The overall atmosphere suggests a cozy, rustic setting. The title of the painting is "A Cosey Corner" by Frank Millet.
