Woman Carrying Faggot is a 1873 oil by Mihály Munkácsy, a Realism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
The painting features a woman carrying a large bundle of faggots, likely firewood, on her back. She is dressed in a long, dark skirt and a white blouse, with a red headscarf tied around her head. The woman's facial expression is somber, and her posture conveys a sense of burden. In the background, the woman is set against a dark, muted landscape that suggests a rural or forested area. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation and hard work. This painting, "Woman Carrying Faggot," is held at the Hungarian National Gallery.
Mihály Munkácsy (Hungarian pronunciation: ; 20 February 1844 – 1 May 1900) was a Hungarian painter. He earned international reputation with his genre pictures and large-scale biblical paintings.
