Oil on canvas. This high-quality painting is a replica of Hébert's 1856 work, exhibited at the Salon Carré in 1859 and at the Exposition Internationale de Champ de Mars in 1867. The work is currently on display at the Musée d'Orsay. The painting depicts three generations of women, symbolizing the three ages of life: childhood, youth, and old age. It depicts a little girl and two women walking under an archway to draw water. Hébert lived for several years in Cervara—an ancient village in the province of Rome, famous for its rock-carved figures—and in his work of folk subjects, he depicted the life and spirit of the villagers, in their everyday actions and their emotional feelings. The work presented here is framed in the same period.
