Woman Standing Holding a Jar on the Head is a 1731 ink by John Baptist Jackson, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a woman standing with her right arm raised, holding a jar on her head. She is dressed in a flowing robe, with her left arm resting at her side. The woman's face is turned to the right, and her hair is styled in loose waves. In the background, a subtle pattern of lines adds texture to the image. The overall effect is one of elegance and poise, as the woman balances the jar with ease.
