About the piece
Painted in 1829 by Jacques Raymond Brascassat, this oil study depicts a woman from Calabria in regional traditional attire. She is shown in profile, bearing the tools of daily life—ceramic water jugs and a wooden barrel—against a neutral, textured background that emphasizes her form and the luminous brushwork of her garments.
