Oil painting of a seated woman in a white cap and dark dress, hands folded, against a dark background with loose brushwork.

Peasant Woman, Half-Figure, Sitting

A half-length portrait of a seated woman in a white cap and dark dress, her hands clasped in her lap against a dark, loosely brushed background. Visible brushwork, earthy browns and greens, and warm light on her face and hands give this oil painting a somber, intimate mood.
