About the piece
Painted by Barbizon master Jean-François Millet in 1857, this oil on panel work captures a quiet moment of domestic labor. The artist's signature empathy for rural life is visible in the dignified treatment of the subject and the rich, glowing colors of her garment against the muted shadows of the room.
