The image depicts a black silhouette of a woman holding a broom and a stick, with her hair styled in an afro. The woman is wearing a dress and has a few buttons on her chest. She is standing with her right leg slightly bent and her left leg straight. The background of the image is white. The woman's facial expression is not visible, but her posture suggests that she is engaged in some kind of activity. The broom and stick she is holding may indicate that she is sweeping or cleaning. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of simplicity and elegance. For more information on the artist behind this piece, check out Kara Walker.
