The painting shows a quiet scene of a well in a rural area. It's a simple moment in time. The artist's use of light and shadow is interesting, it adds depth to the scene. The artist started out painting portraits, but later focused on everyday life. This change in style is reflected in this painting. Check out the work of artist: Millet, Jean-François
