This painting shows a woman in a garden, wearing a long brown dress and a white head covering. She is bent over, tending to large cabbages. The garden is filled with various plants and trees, and there are buildings in the background with red roofs. The woman's focus on her work creates a sense of quiet concentration. The garden's lush vegetation and the buildings' rustic charm evoke a sense of a peaceful, rural setting.
