An elderly woman stands at half length in a field of standing grain, a patterned kerchief tied under the chin, a dark jacket with pale braid down the front. The eye is drawn first to the lined face, then to the hands clasped over the top of a wooden handle at the centre of the frame. Behind her, a low timber building with a pantile roof recedes into soft focus among trees. The pale grain field is the brightest area, set against the dark jacket and the shadowed wall; contrast is moderate to high.

Technical Details: Likely a gelatin silver print on cream mount card. Titled in pencil at lower left and signed at lower right; the verso repeats the title in ink, with the photographer's name, his birth year, and the address at Waldemar Thranes gate 64, Oslo.
