Peasant Woman Sewing

A seated woman in a dark dress and white bonnet bends over her sewing in a dim interior, her face shaded and her hands working over pale cloth. Light from a window at left falls across a wooden table and her figure, while the rest of the room dissolves into dark, loose brushwork.
