Detailed Description
The image, presented in shades of gray, depicts a vertical composition. The upper section features a large, light-colored oval shape, likely a moon, positioned in the upper left quadrant. Below and to its right, a tree branch extends from the right edge, adorned with numerous small, light-colored flowers. The background in this area is a uniform mid-tone gray. In the lower section, a woman is seated on the ground, facing slightly left with her head tilted downwards. She wears elaborate, patterned robes, which feature distinct dark, leaf-like shapes and lighter, possibly floral, patterns. Her hair is styled in an elaborate bun. She is seated with one arm resting on her lap. The ground beneath her is a darker gray. In the lower right corner, a small, indistinct rectangular shape is visible. The overall composition places the woman in the lower half, with the natural elements of the moon and flowering tree occupying the upper half.
