1910
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Paris: The Scavenger's Daughter is a 1910 by Ernest Haskell, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a woman in a long dress, standing in a street. She is wearing a hat and holding a broom and a bucket. The scene is set against a backdrop of buildings, with a few people visible in the distance. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, with the woman's dress and the buildings in the background standing out against the more muted tones of the street and the sky. The overall effect is one of quiet activity, with the woman going about her daily business amidst the bustle of the city. For more on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Ernest Haskell.
