DescriptionAn oil painting of a female figure. The figure's full body is shown as she looks towards the right support. She wears a white headdress with a basket like object on top. The basket is filled with what appears to be wheat, and she holds what appears to be wheat in her proper right hand as well. She wears a red and blue decorative striped dress. To the far right in the distance of the landscape are three additional women. The landscape appears to be rocky and uneven. The upper third part of the painting is a blue sky with warm colors towards the horizon.On View
