About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting on the ground, surrounded by animals and plants. She's holding a sheaf of wheat and a flower, with a few animals gathered around her. In the background, there's a landscape with hills and trees. The woman is dressed in a long robe, and her hair is tied up. The animals around her seem to be looking up at her, as if they're waiting for something. The overall mood of the painting is peaceful and serene.
