This painting depicts a woman carrying a bundle of sticks on her back, walking through a grassy field. She is dressed in a white shirt with red embroidery, a red apron, and a white skirt. The woman's bare feet are visible as she walks, and her hair is pulled back. In the background, a dense forest of trees is visible, with the sun shining through the leaves. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and peacefulness, with the woman's gentle movements and the natural surroundings creating a sense of calm.
