About the piece

Painted in 1889 by Asta Nørregaard, this evocative portrait captures a peasant woman from Normandy in a moment of quiet reflection. Holding a bundle of wheat against a soft, atmospheric landscape, the work showcases the artist's masterful handling of light and texture, characteristic of late 19th-century European realism.
