Helping Herself 1859
by Pierre Edouard Frère
A young girl stands in a larder drinking milk directly from a pitcher. Light from a window at the right illuminates the interior, revealing various utensils, including a rack of pewter spoons hanging on the back wall, a shelf of dishes, a cupboard, a wooden dairy bucket, and several strainers. The floor is laid in earthenware hexagonal tiles.
