About this work

In the painting, a man stands with a walking stick in his right hand, while a woman kneels beside him, tending to his left leg. The man wears a brown hat, a red vest over a white shirt, and dark pants, with a white cloth draped over his shoulder. The woman has a white headscarf and a teal dress. They are set against a rocky landscape with a blue sky. The scene is rendered in oil paint, with the figures and landscape depicted in vivid detail. The woman's attention to the man's wound creates a sense of intimacy and care. This painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, where you can explore more works by Jean-Léonard Lugardon.
