The image depicts a woman standing on a rock near the water's edge. She is facing away from the camera, looking out at the water. She is wearing a bonnet tied under her chin and a long-sleeved dress with ruffles at the hem. The woman holds a long pole, likely used for the nearby small boat. The boat contains scattered items on its floor. In the background, there are blurred trees and reflective water, creating a serene rural setting.
