Peasant Woman with Basket on Head, Front View

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image features two individuals standing side by side. Each person is holding up a basket on their head with one arm and a jug inside the basket. Their other arm rests at their waist. They have curly hair and wear long robes or coats with visible layers underneath, paired with shoes. The background shows a rural setting with two distant figures engaged in agricultural activity, sparse trees, and small buildings.
