About this work
An etching shows a woman in a long skirt and white bodice carrying a basket of greens on her arm while she turns to look at a small barefoot child in a loose shirt who grasps a leafy stalk she holds. The setting is a sparse outdoor landscape with clouds and low shrubs, and an Italian inscription runs along the bottom margin. The print is attributed to Giuseppe Maria Crespi, dated 1705-15, and belongs to his series Bertoldo, Bertoldino, and Cacasenno.
