About the piece

Created in 1632 by the Dutch master Abraham Bloemaert, this work is a superb example of 17th-century genre painting. It depicts a peasant woman laden with a gleaming brass vessel and basket, captured in profile against a soft, atmospheric landscape. Bloemaert's characteristic skill is evident in the sophisticated play of light across textures of metal, fabric, and weathered wood.
