An elderly woman with a headscarf, wearing a pink sweater and patterned pants, sits cross-legged on a stone patio and winnows grain in a woven tray over a brass bowl. Potted plants, including geraniums with red flowers, line the patio. A green tub, a jar, and a metal bowl containing dark seeds are also present. A white washing machine is mounted on a platform against a building wall. The setting appears to be outdoors, perhaps a backyard or courtyard.
