Description

A woman in a white headscarf and long pale robe stands beside a stone well, holding the wooden crossbar of a windlass. The frame of upright posts and crossbars rises over the well, a metal bucket sits on the stone rim, and the curb fills the foreground. Trees and a low wall show behind her against a pale sky.

Description, scan 2
A woman in a light headscarf and long pale robe stands at the edge of a large stone well, one hand resting on a wooden windlass frame. A wooden crossbar and upright posts hold a rope wound on a drum, and a metal bucket sits on the stone curb. Trees and a low wall are blurred in the background, and the ground is bare earth.
