A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a girl with medium-light skin tone leaning on a table covered in a white cloth. Broad, visible brushstrokes define her white blouse and the raw meat and fish resting on it. To our left, more fish sit on a wooden stool. Below, orange carrots and leafy greens lie on the floor. A strong light illuminates her against the deep shadows behind.
