This illustration depicts a woman with ginger hair wearing a patterned sweater, holding a wooden crate filled with freshly harvested vegetables. The crate contains carrots, beets, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, onions, zucchini, and an overgrown cauliflower, arranged loosely rather than formally. Softly rendered tattoos are visible on her arms, while plants and butterflies surround the figure.

The composition balances portraiture with still-life elements, placing equal attention on the figure and the vegetables she carries. Botanical details, patterned textiles, and simple shapes create a clear, readable scene grounded in everyday gestures and familiar materials.

This illustration focuses on food handling and domestic rituals related to growing and gathering. The scene emphasizes seasonality, care, and the quiet presence of homegrown produce within an urban environment.
