A peasant woman, standing in center facing right, carrying one basket on her head and another in her right arm, another peasant woman on a donkey and a figure on foot to left in the background, from 'Various figures and lands' (Diverse figure e paesi) 1649

This etching, created in 1649 by Italian artist Stefano della Bella, depicts a peasant woman carrying a basket on her head and another in her arm. The woman is the focal point of the composition, positioned in the center and facing right. Behind her, a distant landscape unfolds, featuring a woman riding a donkey, a figure walking on foot, and a bridge spanning a river. The scene, rendered in Della Bella's signature detailed style, is a testament to his talent for capturing the essence of everyday life. This etching, part of a series titled 'Diverse figure e paesi,' offers a glimpse into the daily routines of rural Italy during the 17th century.
