Mur Peasants 1870

"Two Peasants" is a painting by Camille Corot from 1870. The painting depicts two women in a simple interior space, likely a farmhouse. The woman on the left is seated and holding a spinning wheel, while the woman on the right is standing and appears to be teaching her how to spin. The painting captures the quiet intimacy of rural life, showcasing the everyday activities of ordinary people, a common theme in Corot's later works. The muted tones and soft lighting of the painting contribute to its serene and contemplative mood, a hallmark of Corot's style.
