Detailed Description
This image depicts a scene of figures harvesting and transporting leaves, featuring five figures in a field against a plain, light background. The scene is framed by a thin black line and a wider light blue border at the top and bottom. On the far left, a woman with dark hair pulled back, wearing a blue tunic over an orange skirt, stands facing right, gently picking leaves from a small green bush. To her right, another woman with dark hair, dressed in a dark blue-purple tunic over dark pants, also picks leaves from a similar green bush. Further right, a third woman with dark hair, wearing a light blue tunic over dark pants, holds a woven, light brown sifting tray, from which small green leaves are falling into a large, round, woven basket on the ground. A small child in a pink tunic and dark pants kneels beside this basket, reaching inside. On the far right, a man with a bald head and a dark ponytail, wearing a tan tunic and blue pants, walks towards the right. He carries a long, reddish-brown pole across his shoulders, from which two large, round, woven baskets hang, one on each side. These baskets appear to contain green leaves. The ground beneath the figures is depicted with shades of brown and green, depicting earth and sparse grass. The background is a uniform, light cream color.
