Peasant Woman with Basket on Head, Front View

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two full-length figures standing upright. Each has one hand on their waist and the other hand holding a round basket on their head. They are dressed in long garments with coats and boots. Their hair is curly and visible beneath wide-brimmed head coverings topped with the basket. Both figures have calm facial expressions and hold baskets containing a jug. In the background, there are other figures, including one holding a tool and another bending over. The setting includes trees and a small building-like structure on the right. The scene is etched on a textured paper background with soft lines.
