The image depicts the upper half of a woman's body from behind. She is bending forward with her left hand in a basin and her right arm raised towards her back. Her head is tilted downwards, her hair is styled loosely and tied back at the nape of her neck. The woman appears to be wearing a light garment or cloth draped around her lower body, while her back is bare.
