About this work

This sketch shows six women standing outside in a field. They’re dressed in simple, light-colored clothes with head coverings, and one woman holds a basket. The background looks like dry grass, and the painting uses soft, loose brushstrokes. The artist focused on everyday life, not grand scenes. The women’s faces and postures feel natural, almost like quick notes from real life. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
