    "description": "A young village girl bends over a stove to peer into a large marmite, the contents of which she stirs with a strainer. She wears a white cap and apron, a casaque, and a petticoat, wool stockings and sabots. At her feet is an earthenware bowl, some kindling and firewood. In the background are various utensils including a salt box and dust basket, wine bottles, milk can, water jug and basin.",
