About this work

This photo shows a woman in a glass greenhouse, tending to potted plants. She wears a dark dress, a white cap, and a gray apron. The greenhouse is packed with vines, leaves, and clay pots. Sunlight streams in through the glass, casting shadows on the floor. The artist focused on everyday life, not fancy scenes. The light and plants look real, like a snapshot of work.
