Description: | Signed: yes Description: The painting depicts the full-length figure of a female peasant, walking to the left, but with her face turned towards us. She wears a white cap, white shirt, dark skirt and apron and is barefoot. On her right shoulder she carries a large sheaf of corn. Behind her a flat landscape is seen at dusk, with the sun just setting below the horizon. Some blue flowers are growing just in front of her. Breton's sympathy for peasants was increased by the February 1848 Revolution, and he painted many pictures of them at home and at work, in a Barbizon-esque natural setting. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Breton, Jules Adolphe Aimé Louis (French painter, 1827-1906) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9200... | Go to resource |
