Description
A woman wears a yellow dress with an empire waist, elbow length sleeves, and ankle-length skirts. Her sleeves have a yellow ruffle at the hem in back, and she wears a soft pink kerchief trimmed in blue and white around her shoulders and tucked into her long, white apron. She has white stockings and flat, pointed black shoes. She wears a pale purple bonnet with puffy, white decorations along the crown. The brim is pleated and longer than the crown. A blue veil is attached to the rear of the hat. She wears gold teardrop earrings and carries a tall, thin woven basket in her right hand. The image has been cropped and mounted by the donor.
