The image shows a woman from the waist up positioned within a large circular frame. She is leaning over a horse's neck with one arm resting upon it while her other arm is by her side. Her facial expression is neutral, with soft features and slightly downturned eyes, as her lips remain closed. The woman wears a light-colored headscarf that wraps around her curly hair and matches her flowing, gathered dress, which is detailed with folds and a low neckline. The horse next to her has a dark coat, a white muzzle, and is wearing a simple bridle. Behind her, there are baskets filled with cloth or fabric. In the background, there are lightly sketched clouds that complement the classical style of the engraving.
