Title
Cook with Red Apron
Description
English: In this scene, a cook wearing a vermilion apron is chopping a large cabbage. Commonplace vegetables are strewn in front of her, including turnips, leeks, celery roots, carrots, and lettuce. The model has been identified as the artist's wife, Constance Félicité Gaudon, and the location as the family's small tavern in Vaugirard. Light from a window at the right penetrates the scene to reveal details in the background including the hanging basket and the shelf with a row of candlesticks, a coffee mill, and a lantern. Placed on the stove is a large, glimmering copper pot.
