Bildbeschreibung
This painting shows a woman standing, facing the left and looking down. She has pale skin and brown hair pulled up on top of her head, and she is wearing a long, dark dress with a pattern of small white dots. She has a pale-red apron tied around her waist and a bonnet of the same color hanging from her neck. She is holding a woven brown basket filled with white eggs, and she stands in front of a large brown barrel. Another barrel is overturned on the ground nearby. Behind her is a low reddish-brown wall, and a tall rake leans against the wall next to her. On the right is tall yellow haystack. A rooster stands in front of the haystack near the bottom right corner, with brown feathers and a red comb and wattle. In the background is a dark interior space with dark objects hanging from it and a partially open door on the left. The ground is covered in yellow and brown straw.
