Three women are portrayed from the waist up, bent over while harvesting. The woman in the foreground is crouched low, with her body turned slightly to the side. She has a focused facial expression and her head is covered with a cloth. Her clothing is suitable for agricultural work. The woman is holding a bundle of grain or straw in one hand and a sickle in the other. Next to her, another woman, similarly dressed, leans into the task with a concentrated expression. In the background, a third woman is partly obscured, engaged in the same activity. The setting is a field during harvest time, with sheaves of cut grain on the ground. The pencil sketch bears the signature "A. Legros 1907" at the bottom left corner.
