Description

A woman in a light headscarf and pale work clothes kneels on bare ground, washing a plate in a metal basin. Behind her a dry-stone wall of rough rocks stands among scrub and a large tree. To the right a wooden rack holds plates and a box labelled with a biscuit brand, and a metal bucket and tins stand around the ground, with a cooking pot on a small stand by the wall.
