Story / Additional InfoThe artist has created a number of paintings with the figure as a central image but located in a landscape. This landscape was imagined by the artist as a memory of her trip to Italy. The woman is a peasant woman who has just gathered the eggs. The cypress trees are lined in the distance and the rolling hills are planted with crops. She is surrounded by fruit arranged on a checkered table cloth where she sits. The trees and hills are typical of the artist's playful rendition of the natural world. The colors are also whimsical and offset the pensive mood of the woman. Despite the curvilinear shapes, there is a balance and symmetry to the composition.
