The image shows a woman seated with her full body visible. She is in a side view, leaning forward slightly, and focused on a task in her lap. Her facial features are detailed with a calm expression. She has her hair covered with a cloth tied around her head. The woman is wearing a long-sleeved dress with simple detailing. She is sitting in front of a spinning wheel with a stack of fabric or yarn at her feet. Her hands are working with a carding board, suggesting she is preparing fibers. The background features textured shading that suggests an indoor setting with a shelf holding several items.
