Italian Landscape with Girl Milking a Goat

Karel du Jardin (1626-1678), oil on panel, 1652

These Italian peasants have risen early to milk the, cattle. A soft yellow mist still hangs in the valley. Du Jardin underscored their simple life by portraying the woman with bare feet. Clad in vibrant blue and red clothes, the two figures stand out brightly against the yellow-brown mountain landscape.
