This drawing shows a woman in a loose dress, sitting outdoors and cutting a stick with a small knife. She’s barefoot, and her hair is pulled back. The background is simple—just a few bushes and a plain sky. The artist labeled this as an Italian peasant, but the setting looks more like a quiet garden. The colors are soft, with muted greens and browns. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
