About this work

This painting shows a woman standing sideways, holding a yellow bucket with a rope. She’s wearing a light-colored blouse with red embroidery and a long skirt full of bright patterns—reds, blues, and golds. Her hair is pulled back, and she looks calm, like she’s taking a break from work. The artist used loose brushstrokes, especially on her skirt, making the colors pop. The background is plain, so all the focus stays on her and the bucket. Next, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
