The image shows a woman in a seated position, looking slightly to the side. Her upper body is turned slightly towards the viewer while her legs are stretched out in front of her. She has light, curly hair that falls to her shoulders and wears a wide-brimmed straw hat adorned with a ribbon and flowers. Her facial features include a delicate nose and slightly smiling lips. She is dressed in a voluminous gown featuring layers of earthy colors, with a blueish underskirt and a warm-toned shawl. Her left hand rests on her lap. She wears a pendant on a ribbon around her neck. A large straw basket or bundle is positioned behind her, and she is surrounded by foliage with a large tree to the left. In the background, the scenery includes lush greenery with a mix of trees and bushy plants under a cloudy but bright sky. To the right, there is a large, overturned urn or terracotta vase resting on the ground.
