She leans toward the boy at her side who holds a full soup bowl in his hands. To her left a young man approaches with two fowl hanging from the pole over his shoulder. Sheep mull about in the center foreground while on the right an old man sheers a sheep held by another young boy. In the background a man cuts rushes (?) which are loaded into a cart (with ox).
