A woman stands against a bright sky, bathed in intense sunlight. She wears a hat with a very wide brim, woven from strips of rose and white fabric. This casts her face partly in shadow; her eyes, shrouded in darkness, gaze directly at the viewer. She is dressed in a satin white gown that leaves one shoulder bare. A rose ribbon falls from the hat onto her bare shoulder, and another broader ribbon of the same color serves as a belt. She holds a basket of light violet plums with both arms raised high. The horizon is low, revealing only the tops of trees at the bottom of the scene.
