The image depicts an elderly woman sitting on a wooden bench. She has short, tightly curled white hair and wears glasses. The woman's posture is upright, with her arms folded in her lap and her legs crossed at the ankles. She is dressed in a dark dress with a collar and short sleeves, and wears a ring on her finger. The background includes a brick wall with a wooden shuttered window, a broom leaning against the wall to the right, a basket on the ground to the left, and a jar on the brick ledge above her head.
