This painting shows a woman sitting next to a donkey. She's dressed in simple clothes and looks calm. The donkey is also calm, standing still beside her. The woman and donkey are the main focus of the painting. The artist used simple lines to draw them, which makes the scene feel quiet. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
