Source Description
The artist Hébert worked in the classical tradition, and painted Italian genre scenes, religious subjects, and portraits.A young peasant girl ascends a hil carrying a water jug on her head and another on her left hip. The sun is setting on the low horizon, and since it is twilight, the colors are muted. In an engraving of this painting entitled "The Water Bearer", by J. Levasseur, published by D. Appleton and Co., New York, the flowers are disposed differently at the girl's feet and it does not have the lone bird in the sky.
