Peter Ravn Rasmussen

"Winter Fuel", 1873 painting by British artist John Everett Millais (1829–1896).

In the Manchester Art Gallery. Accession number 1897.4.

Scottish winter landscape scene, showing a large cart laden with felled timber. Birnam Hill is in the background. The cart occupies the foreground, its wheels at the left of the composition and its shafts resting on the ground to the right; on it are the branches of silver birch and oak, with brush-wood piled on the ground around the wheels. A young girl is seated in profile to the right on the far shaft. She wears a red headscarf tied under the chin and a short jacket over an apron and dress; her head is turned away from the viewer, her left hand resting in her lap and holding an apple, her right hand placed on a branch behind her. Between the shafts is a collie, also looking into the distance. The surrounding landscape appears to be marshy farmland at the foot of the dramatic, rocky hillside in the background, which slopes downward from the upper right corner; along its lower slopes are wisps of smoke.
