This painting shows a woman sitting on rocks, wearing a red cloak and a straw hat. She holds a basket of chickens in her lap. The woman's face is blurred, and the background is dark, with some light coming from the top left corner. The overall atmosphere is somber. If you want to learn more about the artist who created this work, look up Richard Heighway.
