About the piece

Painted in 1884 by Giuseppe De Nittis, this work exemplifies the artist's ability to blend Impressionist light with Realist detail. The composition centers on a solitary woman tending geese by a muddy track, set against a luminous golden field and a powerful, cloud-filled sky that dominates the upper half of the canvas.
