Peasant

Auguste Giraudon's Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young woman standing in a side-on position, holding a large bundle of hay on her head with one hand. She wears a historical-style outfit, with a long-sleeved white blouse, a dark fitted vest, a long stripe-patterned skirt, and an apron. She has dark hair, and her gaze is directed downward. The background shows stacks of hay and a dense thicket or hedge of vegetation.
