Girl Bringing Jar of Wine

Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman in traditional Asian dress holding a jar. The woman has dark hair pulled up into a bun, adorned with a hairpiece. She wears a long white dress with a brown short-sleeved top over it. The dress has red and blue accents. A red and white sash wraps around her waist, and a blue and gold trim adorns the edges of her clothes. Her sleeves are long and billowy. She holds a large jar with a blue lid and a brown body. The background of the painting is a solid brown color. The woman stands against a beige border, which surrounds the artwork. The overall style of the painting suggests it is an example of traditional Asian art.
