A vertically oriented sepia-toned photogravure depicts a person with medium-dark skin standing on a rocky beach, facing us with a steady gaze. They wear a wide-brimmed hat, a woven cape, and a patterned skirt. Holding a thin staff vertically in their left hand, they stand before a shallow pool reflecting their form. A woven basket sits nearby. In the background, rolling hills meet a clouded sky under soft light.
