About this work

A woman sits on the ground, milking a cow while a goat rests nearby. Behind them, a stone wall and a leafless tree stand in a quiet countryside. A distant tower and hills fade into a pale sky. The artist used soft shadows to show depth, especially on the animals and wall. This trick makes the scene feel calm and real. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting works in other paintings.
