DescriptionA woman stands on the grassy edge of a cliff looking over the edge. She wears a dress with a laced bodice, a shawl, an apron, a skirt trimmed with fringe, and sandals. She has a headdress on her head and a ring on the ring finger of her right hand. She holds a branch of a tree with her left hand. Three men are on the slope below. The man at the left fires a long rifle. Dense trees are at the foot of the cliff. A small, rocky island and the sails of two small boats are on the water in the background.
