DescriptionA barefoot young girl stands on a grassy bank beside a stream. She wears a large woven cap, a short shirt, a smock or blouse, and what appears to be a broad cummerband. She holds a leafy branch in her left hand. The handle of a basket is looped over her right arm. A rustic bridge, formed of a single roughly dressed log with a crude handrail, crosses the stream at the right. Flowers, possibly primroses, grow in the right foreground. Barren hills or mountains are in the background. Clouds are in the sky.
