Contadina de Asís is an 1888 oil-on-canvas painting by the Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla.
Description
The painting is part of the collection of the Sorolla Museum, in Madrid, Spain. 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 beauty something realistic in nature. 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.
The painting uses bright natural colours with an ease of brush work.
