Oil on canvas.
The work is a copy of the painting "Réflexion" (1893) by Adolphe William Bouguereau, a French painter who established himself for his photorealistic painting in the perfection of details.
The painter created several works with this title, characterized by female figures, both popular like the one presented here, and from other social classes, portrayed in a reflective, thoughtful attitude.
In this work, the young commoner is sitting on the edge of the stone basin of a fountain, the jug to be filled resting at her side, and holds a needle with thread in her hands, intent on mending but with her gaze lost in thought.
The work is presented in a period frame.
