"Poor Woman of the Village" is a painting by Gustave Courbet, a renowned French artist of the Realist movement. The artwork depicts a woman carrying a large bundle of firewood on her back, accompanied by a young girl and a goat in a snowy landscape. Courbet's focus on ordinary life and the struggles of the working class, embodied by the woman's arduous task, is characteristic of his Realist style. The painting's stark realism and somber tone evoke a sense of hardship and the harsh realities of rural life in 19th-century France.
