Oil on canvas applied to cardboard. Signed lower left. Accompanied by authentication on photo from the Orler Collection. Inside a popular house, equipped with kitchen tools, a young woman is sitting in front of the lit fireplace, intent on cleaning vegetables; from the upper left window the light of a bright and clear day enters, which radiates into the gray and poor kitchen. The work is well part of the production of Domenico Induno, the Milanese painter who was a pupil of Francesco Hayez, who after his beginnings mainly devoted to historical-Renaissance painting, from the 1950s turned his production towards genre scenes, set indoors. domestic and with poor and derelict protagonists. Intimate scenes, often with few characters, turned into a melancholy and modest emotional tone, sometimes even desolate, which however were pictorially animated by that quick and flickering brushstroke, by that mobile and brilliant touch, which would increasingly characterize the style of the Induno . He achieved great success with his production, which earned him numerous awards and a following among the younger painters. He was also an established portrait painter. The work is presented in a style frame.
