Woman Carrying a Tray is a 1528 ink by Master F.P., a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a woman bent forward, carrying a heavy tray on her head. Her arms are wrapped around it, and her body looks tired from the weight. The background is just a simple brick wall, keeping all focus on her struggle. The artist used lines to show every muscle and fold of her clothes, making the scene feel real. This kind of detail was new for its time. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
