About this work

The painting depicts a figure carrying a large bundle of sticks, walking along a winding path. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a house in the distance. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, with the figure and trees emerging from the shadows. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. This painting is part of the collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
