Peasant Woman with Basket, in Profile, Facing Left

Israel Henriet after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing in profile facing right. She has a slight bend in her arms, holding a basket in front of her. The woman has detailed facial features with a calm expression, and her hair is tucked under a cap. She is wearing layered clothing, including a long-sleeved blouse, a shawl, and a long skirt with simple shoes. She is carrying a basket with one arm supporting it below, while her other hand seems to be adjusting it. The background is plain.
