She looks about 12 too. Is it just me?
Adorable painting!

Museums give us glimpses into life, both past and present. Perhaps the painter took a few liberties by making her "cheerful" about her daily tasks.
It does make you wonder.
This is the result of artistic license!
I am not that cheerful doing the laundry, and all we have to do is throw the clothes in the washing machine instead of using a washboard.
Who knows?While she was doing this, she was at home,not outside in the cold, not obliged to care about cattle or about something much harder..Maybe it's only a matter of relativity..
Doubt it.
HA, I was thinking the same thing. Who on earth would look that happy to be beating their knuckles on a washboard! :)
