Description:

Watercolor on paper illustrating a woman walking as she balances a basket of flowers on her head. A boy wearing a hat but no shoes walks beside her carrying tree branches. Ball has used solid shades of dark brown for the skin tone of the figures with no strong, black outlines like in her previous works. The garments are solid colors and they are given depth with darker shades of the same color. The figures walk in front of a pink house with green shutters and a white door and an open window are visible.
