Woman Emptying a Bucket 1834 - 1875

"Woman Emptying a Bucket" is a black and white lithograph by renowned French artist Jean-François Millet, created between 1834 and 1875. This piece captures the essence of rural life, depicting a woman engaged in the everyday task of emptying a bucket, likely of water, into a jug. Millet's simple yet expressive style highlights the dignity and labor of working-class individuals, a theme prevalent in his artistic repertoire. The artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Millet's profound portrayal of peasant life.
