Description

A smiling woman in a cap and long-sleeved top sits on a rocky outcrop, holding a large round-bodied vessel against her side. Below her a flat valley floor with scattered trees and low bare hills stretches into a hazy distance under a pale, mostly empty sky. A rock face rises at the left edge of the frame.

Description, scan 2
A woman in a cap and long-sleeved jacket sits smiling on a rocky ledge, one hand resting on a large round-bodied jar with handles beside her. Behind her a steep rock face rises on the left, and below stretches a wide valley with scattered trees, cultivated plots and a flat pale expanse of water, with distant hills fading into haze.
