The image shows an elderly woman seated, visible from the waist up. She is positioned slightly in profile with her head bowed and hands clasped, resting against her chin. She has a gentle expression with closed eyes. She has smooth hair combed back and wears a shawl over a long-sleeved garment. A skein of yarn and a knitting project are visible beside her on the bench. In the background, there is a wall with a shadow of a cross cast upon it and a small potted plant on a ledge to the right.
