Contadina de Asís

It was painted in 1888, at a small town of Assisi in Italy, after the retirement of the painter. He always wanted to paint natural and realistic beauty.^[1] It is a feminine portrait of a peasant woman standing in a landscape full of vegetation and dotted with poppies. The woman appears to be slightly turning her head to the right. She wears a red scarf, which covers her head and is knotted at the nape of her neck, and a matching red bodice over a white blouse.^[2]

The painting uses bright natural colours with an ease of brush work.
