Camille Pissarro

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a pencil drawing on aged paper. A woman sits on the left side of the drawing, turned right and looking down at a basket. The woman wears a head covering with a pattern and a long-sleeved dress. In front of her on the right, another figure appears to be sitting. A tray with items on it sits on a surface to their right. A scene in the background shows buildings, trees, people, and a donkey. A lantern-style light fixture hangs from a wire in the top center. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner. Writing appears in the lower left and center.
