## Commentary

This painting depicts a woman - no longer young - seated on the ground, accompanied by two children. All three appear to be of a humble social class, dressed as they are in rural clothing, and with both children wearing threadbare, torn clothes. The painter focused on these three figures, whose dress is the subject of detailed description, carried out with especially painstaking care. In this painting the Master of the Blue Jeans characteristically reworks subjects he had treated in his other works.
