About this work

This sketch shows a woman sitting on a stone ledge, holding a basket of apples. Behind her, a bell tower and a busy town square fill the background. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried sketch. The artist focused on everyday life, not polished scenes. The apples look fresh, and the town feels alive with tiny figures.
