A Woman sweeper is a 1826 paint by Unknown, a Realism work, depicting Domestic Worker, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman sweeping a stone floor with a wooden broom. She wears a simple dress and her hair is tied back. The room looks bare, with just a plain wall behind her. This was made around 1826. At the time, many artists in Europe focused on everyday life instead of grand scenes. We don’t know who painted it, so we can’t say more about the artist. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see other art like this.
A watercolour depicts a woman engaged in sweeping, part of a series of thirty-five drawings illustrating various trades and occupations.
