National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing, turned slightly to the side, facing the viewer. The person's left arm holds a bundle wrapped in light cloth tucked under their right arm, with a basket hanging from their right arm. The facial features include defined cheekbones, a somewhat pronounced chin, and a thoughtful expression. They wear a dark-colored cap with a patterned red scarf tied over it and under the chin. The clothing includes a multicolored, striped garment, a red shawl draped over the shoulders, a blue skirt, and brown shoes. The background is a neutral tone with no distinct scenery.
