Mädel mit Honig und Obst (Girl Selling Honey and Fruit)

Johann Feigel after Johann Christian Brand

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young woman seated on a rock. She is positioned in a relaxed manner, with one leg bent and the other stretching forward. Her head is slightly turned to her left, and she is looking downward. The woman wears a bonnet with a wide brim that covers her hair, and her facial features are gentle and serene. She is dressed in a long dress with puffed sleeves and an apron. Nearby, there is a basket filled with fruit, likely apples, and various food items, including cheese and bread, on a piece of cloth draped over the rock. The background is plain with no discernible features.
