A woman wearing a long dress and a head covering is bending over to empty a basket into a large jug. The woman is standing on a dirt path. A stone building with a tiled roof and an open doorway is behind her. There are two small windows on the side of the building. The woman's right leg is bent behind her and her left leg is bent in front of her. Her head is tilted down. The basket she holds is rectangular with a handle. The jug on the ground has a wide body and a narrow neck. It has a handle on one side. There are two smaller vessels on top of the jug. The image is in black and white. The artwork is by Jean-François Millet and is titled "A Woman Emptying a Bucket".
