Artist, French, 1802 - 1879

The image depicts a woman standing with her body slightly turned to the side. She holds a large basket in one hand and leans on a fish net with the other. She has a subtle smile and her gaze is directed to the side. She wears a headscarf, a striped, long-sleeved top, a knee-length skirt, and is barefoot. Shells are scattered around her on the ground. The background features a textured wall and a tree trunk to the right.
