A Peasant Woman Goes for Water is a 1913 ink by Kazimir Malevich, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a lithograph in black on wove paper, featuring a peasant woman walking with a bucket. The woman is dressed in a long skirt and blouse, with her head covered by a scarf. She is shown from the side, with her body facing to the left and her head turned slightly to the right. The background of the image is a simple, geometric pattern of lines and shapes, which adds a sense of depth and texture to the overall composition. The use of bold, black lines creates a striking contrast with the white paper, making the image stand out. The artist's use of lithography, a technique that involves drawing on stone or metal plates, adds a unique quality to the image.
