About this work

A young woman in a blue dress and white cap stands by a wooden railing. She holds a woven basket on a rope beside her. Her sleeves are rolled up, and she wears a striped scarf around her neck. Behind her, a hazy seascape stretches to the horizon. Her calm expression and simple clothes suggest everyday life. The painting feels like a quiet moment frozen in time.
