The image shows an older woman standing in a room. She is facing slightly to the right. The woman's posture is upright. She is dressed in a long, dark dress with an apron tied around her waist. Her facial features are in shadow, and she has a headscarf covering her hair. The background of the image features a domestic kitchen or utility area with various objects like pots and utensils. There is a stone or brick wall in the background, with shadows cast across it. The lighting seems to come from an unseen window or doorway on the left.
