The Woman with the Jug, Standing

Cornelis Bega

National Gallery of Art

The image is an illustration showing a full-body depiction of a person standing in a turned posture. The individual is looking off to the side, with their head angled slightly towards the viewer's right. The facial features are delicately etched, with a pronounced nose and short hairstyle. The person is wearing a long, flowing garment that resembles a robe or gown, with the texture and folds prominently etched. They are carrying what appears to be a hat or similar object in one hand, while the other hand is held close to their chest. The background of the image is plain, with clean and simple lines, emphasizing the primary figure.
