female figure is a 1873 watercolor by Lavezzari, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A woman stands barefoot in a dim, rough-walled room. She wears a long, dark dress with a yellow-and-red headscarf draped over her head. One hand rests on her hip, the other holds a small red object. Next to her feet sits a clay jug with a handle, looking old and worn. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost sketchy. The light falls unevenly, making some parts bright and others shadowy. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
