Dutch interior with a seated woman in a dark hood, a boy at a green-covered table with a bowl and jug, a violin on the wall, and a dog.

A Woman Slicing Bread

A woman in a dark hooded shawl sits on a wooden chair, head bowed over her hands, while a small boy stands at a table draped in green beside a bowl, a loaf and a pewter jug. A violin hangs on the whitewashed wall and a dog waits at her feet in this quiet domestic interior.
