The painting depicts a barefoot young woman in peasant clothing, turned away from but still facing the viewer. She holds a plant in her hands. See also The Shepherdess, a similar painting by the same artist.
This and similar images by the artist attracted collectors in Europe and America because of their nostalgic content.[1] In such works the artist depicted a variety of poses and expressions, in this case showing the mild curiosity of the girl.[2]
