About the piece

Painted in 1876 by Arcadi Mas i Fontdevila, this work depicts a peasant woman in Rome. The composition is defined by the bold contrast between her vibrant red bodice and the luminous white of her blouse and headscarf, all rendered with loose, expressive brushstrokes that suggest both texture and movement.
