This rustic abode belonged to a family of little means. The corn at the right and the chickens in the foreground suggest a self-sustaining homestead. The woman filling two pots with water has done laundry in the adjacent washtub—including two shirts that may belong to the man wearing a straw hat, glimpsed at the left. Henriette, whose depictions often enoble work, here celebrates quotidian labors at Perth Amboy, the steamboat stop where the Neuvilles disembarked when they were exploring nearby properties.
