In the image, there are four adults and one child. The adults are shown mostly in full length, with two women on the left and right holding baskets of flowers, and a man in the middle with a smaller basket. The child is to the left, slightly behind one woman. The woman on the left has her hair tied back and is bending slightly, carrying a basket on her back. The woman on the right is standing, wearing a hat, and near a donkey loaded with baskets. The man in the center is leaning slightly towards the woman next to him. The woman next to him has styled hair and wears a long, flowing dress with ruffles. The group's attire is period-appropriate, with intricate detailing and layers. A small dog is near the donkey on the right. In the background are architectural elements such as a grand building with multiple stories and a landscape scene visible through an open doorway.
