About this work

This painting depicts two women in a landscape. The woman on the right, dressed in a dark robe and a white skirt, holds a sword in her right hand and a branch in her left. She faces to the right. The woman on the left, wearing an orange dress and a white headscarf, carries a basket on her head. She looks at the other woman. The background features a tree, a building, and a body of water. A quiet detail is the way the women are positioned, with the woman on the right appearing to be the main focus of the painting.
