About the piece
In 'Woman Carding Wool,' Jean-François Millet elevates a simple scene of domestic labor to a moment of quiet dignity. Painted around 1856, the work showcases the artist's signature earthy palette and focus on the rhythmic, essential tasks of rural life, rendered with a soft, atmospheric light characteristic of the Barbizon school.
