Description: | Signed: yes Description: This half-length picture of a girl shows her moving across the painting to the left, looking straight out. The sun has broken through but the glowering sky suggests that a heavy fall of rain has just passed over. In the background an old man still shelters in a doorway. Her makeshift headdress, made from a sack which possibly once held wool, would have indicated her lowly status to the nineteenth century viewer. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure; townscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: ?Bastien-Lepage, Jules (French painter, printmaker, and sculptor, 1848-1884) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9269... | Go to resource |
