Woman with back basket holds child's hand, walking muddy path through misty landscape
An oil painting depicts a woman and a child walking away from the viewer on a dirt path through a misty landscape. The woman, on the left, wears dark clothing and carries a large, woven basket on her back. She holds the left hand of a small child, who walks to her right. The child wears a dark, possibly reddish-brown outfit and has curly, light brown hair. In their right hand, the child holds a small cluster of light-colored objects, possibly flowers. The muddy path, with visible ruts, curves slightly to the left as it recedes into the background. The ground on either side of the path is uneven, covered with sparse, low vegetation in shades of brown and dull green, with some taller reeds on the left. The background is indistinct and hazy, suggesting mist or fog, with faint, dark, rectangular shapes visible on the left horizon. The sky is a muted, pale orange-brown, blending into the misty landscape.
