Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

The image shows a woman from the waist up, slightly bent forward as she leans over a table covered with a cloth. Her head is covered with a shawl, her facial expression is detailed with eyes wide open and mouth slightly agape. She wears a long-sleeved garment and a long skirt that reaches her shoes; her attire appears layered, with a shawl or scarf around her shoulders. A jug or container is on the floor beside her feet. The setting is indoors with a tiled floor, a chair behind her, and a window with a grid of square panes visible on the left side, framed by simple walls. A bowl or basket sits underneath the table, and the wall behind her is plain. The background shows no additional details beyond what's described, focusing on the woman and her actions.
