Peasant and Egg Woman

Agostino dei Musi after Raphael

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures depicted in a detailed etched style. The standing person holds a walking stick. They have curly hair, wear a cap, loose-fitting garment, tunic, leggings, and slip-on shoes. The seated person's face is partially covered by a wimple. They wear a long gown, and their hands appear to hold small round objects. Next to them is a basket filled with similar objects. The background features horizontal lines indicating a wooden or textured wall and a simple area suggesting steps or a platform.
