This painting shows a group of women gathered around a well. They are all dressed in traditional clothing, with white blouses and colorful skirts. One woman is holding a large jug, while another is pouring water from a smaller container. In the background, there is a stone wall with a few plants growing out of it. The sky above is a soft, muted color. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet activity, with the women going about their daily tasks.
