| Description |  |
Sweerts probably painted this vivid portrait of a peasant woman in Rome; the pink and gray tones and dark background are typical of his Italian period. The complex brushwork, alternately blending and separating stokes of different shades, creates a sense of immediacy and lends beauty to this characterization of a woman prematurely aged by poverty and labor.
