Peasant

Auguste Giraudon's Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing next to a tree outdoors. She is facing left, slightly angled away from the camera. Her head is turned, with a white headscarf covering her hair. She wears a long dark dress with a light shirt underneath, sleeves rolled up to the elbows. In one hand she holds a bundle of branches, and in the other a long stick or tool. Dense foliage surrounds her, with a wooden structure or fence partially visible beside her. Grass and leaves cover the ground.
