Painting of a woman in a green dress and white cap digging beside a large thatched cottage with a sloping roof under a cloudy sky.

A Peasant Woman Digging in Front of Her Cottage

A woman in a dark green dress and white cap bends forward in the foreground, digging the ground with a tool beside a long, thatched cottage roof. Loose, feathery brushwork renders the straw roof and the gray-blue sky in muted earth tones.
