A woman sits with a basket of bread on her lap. She wears a dark dress with a white collar and a headscarf, holding a loaf in one hand. Her face looks tired, and her hands are wrapped in cloth. The background is dark, making her stand out. The bread looks freshly made, and her fingers are stained with flour. This painting shows everyday life in a simple way. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
