Lovely watercolor by Eugène BOUDIN circa 1870 depicting a Breton woman spinner in a rustic interior.

*** A major exhibition "Eugene BOUDIN" took place at the Marmottan Monet museum in Paris in 2025, which presented a watercolor of the same style as ours, same technique, also depicting a scene of daily life in Brittany (see last photo).
