About the piece

Painted in 1904, Jan Toorop’s 'Resting Peasant Woman' captures a quiet moment of repose in the countryside. The work utilizes a divisionist-inspired technique with short, rhythmic brushstrokes that create a luminous, atmospheric effect across the sun-drenched field and haystack, characteristic of the artist's shift toward a more pointillist style during this period.
