This painting shows a young woman standing by a fountain. She is wearing a long red skirt and a green top, and has her dark hair pulled back. She is holding a large jug with a handle in her right hand, and her left hand is on her hip. The background is dark and shadowy, with some trees visible behind the woman. The woman is looking down at the fountain, which is not visible in the painting. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought. To learn more about the artist who painted this scene, look up Jean Baptiste Camille Corot.
