The image shows a seated woman on a raised surface. She is facing left, leaning on her left arm while her right arm rests on her lap, holding a branch. Her features include a nose, lips, and a calm expression. Her hair is styled back, and she wears a sleeveless top and a long skirt. The setting includes trees, hills in the background, and grass-like strokes on the ground, with a cow's head visible in the bottom right corner.
