About the piece
Painted in 1882 by Finnish artist Adolf von Becker, this work is a masterful example of late 19th-century realism. It depicts a slice of everyday life where a young girl, carrying bread and a milk pail, looks up expectantly at a butcher as an elegantly dressed woman observes, all rendered with luminous detail and a warm, grounding palette.
