About this work

The painting shows a woman holding a bow and arrow, dressed in a long skirt. She's standing in a landscape with trees and hills. The woman is the main focus of the painting, and her clothing is very detailed, which makes her stand out from the background. The artist paid close attention to the folds of her skirt and the feathers in her hat. You can learn more about the artist's style by looking at the work of artist: Callot, Jacques.
