A woman with gray hair pulled back sits on a wooden bench, wearing a blue dress with a floral pattern. She is looking down at a large, round, wooden tray in her lap. Her hands are actively engaged with the contents of the tray, which appear to be small grains, possibly rice. She is sifting or sorting these grains with her fingers. The background shows a brick wall and some wooden fencing. The overall impression is one of focused, manual labor.
