The artwork titled "On the Hillside" depicts a woman shown from head to mid-calf, in a bent-over position. Her face is partially obscured by a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a ribbon, casting a shadow over her features. She wears a voluminous, light-colored dress with puffed sleeves and lace detailing. Her hands are visible, one of which lightly touches the ground. The background is softly blurred, suggesting a grassy hillside, and the image possesses a sepia tone.
