A child sits on the ground in the background, and the scene is framed by tall trees and rolling hills. The woman’s simple dress and the horse suggest a rural setting, possibly a market scene. The way the light hits their faces and clothes makes some areas look brighter than others. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
