The Cook (La cuisiniere) is a 1899 ink by Ambroise Vollard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman cooking in a kitchen. She's wearing a blue dress with a white apron and a white cap. The room has a brown wall and a white counter with a blue and white patterned cloth hanging down. There's a big pot on the counter, and some plates and a bottle on a shelf. The woman is focused on her work, and the room feels cozy and quiet. The colors are muted, with lots of browns and whites, which gives the scene a sense of simplicity and everyday life.
