This painting shows a woman in a long blue dress standing under a tree, holding a basket. A man in light clothes climbs a ladder, reaching up toward the branches. The background has more trees, a blurred building, and a few distant figures. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a soft, sketchy look. The colors are mostly green, blue, and earthy tones, with light filtering through the leaves. Look up Walter Crane to see more of his work.
