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 the year 1888, at a small town of Assisi in Italy, after the retirement of the painter, Joaquín Sorolla. He always wanted to paint natural beauty something realistic in nature.[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 wore a red scarf, which covered her head and knotted at the nape of her neck and clad with a white blouse which appears to had covered by a red bodice, matching the entire attire.[2]
The painting depicts use of bright ranges of natural colours with an ease of brush work which is true to nature.
