This drawing shows a woman in a dark dress holding a basket full of grapes. She’s standing outdoors, with a vine and some greenery behind her. Her face is serious, and the basket looks heavy. The artist used soft watercolors to show light and shadow on her clothes and the grapes. The grapes look almost real—some are ripe, others still green.
