Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman in dark clothing cooks over an open fire, stirring a pan in a dim interior

Detailed Description

A woman is seated in a dark interior, illuminated primarily by the glow of a fire. She is positioned on the right, facing left in profile. The woman wears a dark blue dress or tunic, a white collar, and a dark head covering. Her hands hold a long-handled pan directly over a small, brick-like stove structure, from which yellow-orange flames and glowing embers emanate. Above the stove, a dark, round kettle hangs from a chain. The background is a dark, muted green and brown, with indistinct shapes appearing to form a wall or corner of a room. On the floor in the lower left foreground, a dark, lidded pot or pitcher is visible next to a small, white bowl. The color palette is dominated by deep greens, blues, and browns, with the bright yellow and orange of the fire as a focal point. Thick, visible brushstrokes are present throughout the composition.
