The painting depicts a young woman standing in a grassy field. She is dressed in a traditional Breton costume, with a dark blue skirt and a white cap with a lace frill. She holds a long wooden staff in her right hand, and a black and white dog with floppy ears sits attentively at her feet. In the background, rolling green hills are separated from a bright blue sky by a line of dark trees. The entire scene is painted in a bold and colorful style, with thick black outlines and flat areas of color.
