The grape-picker, and elderly woman holding a basket of grapes, after Murillo 1775 - 1785

This etching, “The Grape-Picker”, by Juan Antonio Salvador Carmona, is a copy of an original painting from the Royal Palace of Madrid. The composition features an elderly woman dressed in a traditional Spanish peasant garment, holding a basket of freshly harvested grapes. The image captures the quiet dignity of a working-class woman. Carmona’s meticulous attention to detail emphasizes the texture of the basket, the grapes, and the woman’s weathered hands, making the image feel both realistic and poignant. This artwork, created between 1775 and 1785, is a testament to Carmona's talent and his ability to capture the beauty and simplicity of everyday life.
