The image shows a woman seated on a piece of wreckage or a small boat. She is sitting with her arms crossed over her chest, wearing a bonnet on her head with chin ties. She is dressed in a long-sleeved shirt with an apron and a long skirt, and is barefooted. The woman has sharp facial features and a gaunt appearance. She is in a flooded landscape with debris and a rooster on a wooden branch. The background features a dark, swirling sky and bare trees in the distance.
