About the piece

Painted by Giacomo Ceruti around 1765, this charming oil painting captures a moment of rural life with characteristic dignity. A woman sits attentively with her spindle while a man with a large willow basket stands beside her, framed by the gentle presence of cattle and a loyal dog under a bright, cloud-swept sky.
