The painting shows a tall woman in flowing drapery, holding a staff. She stands amidst a backdrop of construction and nature. The woman is surrounded by scattered weapons and a body of water. The detailed line work and cross-hatching in this piece are notable. These techniques help create depth and texture in the image. This style is similar to that of the technique: cross-hatching.
