Picture. A blonde white woman kneels beside a stream doing laundry. Her hair is wrapped in a blue cloth, and she wears a brown apron over a simple white dress. A basket full of white cloth sits next to her. The forest around her is alive with bright autumnal colours. An oak sapling grows across the stream from the woman.

She wears ornaments of shell and bark on her legs, ankles, waist and neck. A human skull painted in strips of red hangs on her back. She is smoking a crab claw pipe and looking pensively out to the sunrise over the sea.
