About the piece

Created by Gustave Courbet in 1862, this masterwork depicts a young woman tending to a dense trellis of hollyhocks and lilies. The rich, dark palette of her dress provides a dramatic backdrop for the luminous, painterly floral blooms, exemplifying the Realist master's sophisticated technique and appreciation for nature.
