Peasant woman breaking flax is a 1859 oil by Henryk Rodakowski, a Realism work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
The painting depicts a woman standing outdoors, dressed in a white shirt and a red headscarf, with a red skirt wrapped around her waist. She is barefoot and holds a bundle of flax in her hands. The scene is set against a backdrop of a landscape with trees and a body of water in the distance. The woman's attire and the outdoor setting suggest a rural or peasant context.
