The artwork presents a solitary figure, a woman, dominating the canvas with her graceful presence. Her form is draped in flowing garments, rendered in rich, earthy tones of deep reds and browns, that cascade down her frame. She balances a large earthenware jug upon her head, one arm raised to steady the weight, while the other rests gently against her side, creating a sense of effortless composure. The artist skillfully uses light and shadow to sculpt her features, lending an air of serene contemplation to her expression.

The background is softly blurred, suggesting a twilight or moonlit scene. A large, luminous orb – possibly the moon – casts a gentle glow upon the scene, infusing it with a mystical quality. The artist's technique, with its emphasis on texture and atmospheric perspective, gives the artwork a timeless quality, evoking a sense of ancient beauty and enduring human experience.
