This painting depicts a man and a young girl in a dimly lit room. The man, wearing a cap and a long-sleeved shirt, sits on a bench, holding a piece of wood and a tool. The girl, with long braids, sits on a stool, looking down at something in her hands. A window is visible behind them, with a bucket and a basket on a table nearby. The painting has a somber tone, with muted colors and strong contrasts between light and dark. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the scene. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
