The Churner (La Baratteuse)

Millet, Daubigny en Barbizon, 1855

The image shows a person standing upright with both hands gripping a staff placed inside a large wooden churn. The person's facial features are in shadow, and they appear to be concentrating on their task. The person is wearing a headscarf and a simple garment. A small animal stands close to the person's feet, looking in the opposite direction. The background is a dimly lit interior with shelves stocked with sacks or bundles. The floor has a rough, textured surface.
