More about this artwork
The artwork portrays a young woman delicately holding a large jug in her hands. She is dressed in a simple, loose-fitting garment with a shawl draped over her shoulders, and her head is adorned with a cap that covers her hair and frames her thoughtful face. The woman gazes downward, seemingly lost in contemplation. The jug she holds appears sturdy and utilitarian, suggesting its everyday use in tasks such as fetching water. The soft charcoal lines and somber tone of the drawing evoke a quiet, introspective moment, captured beautifully by the artist’s skilled hand.
