The woman's attire, consisting of an embroidered apron, a white blouse with a high-necked bodice, and a full, pleated skirt, was a common sight on Sundays and was also worn as a uniform by hotel waitresses during this era. The intricate details of the embroidery on her apron and bodice reflect the time and effort put into creating these beautiful garments, which were passed down from generation to generation. The woman's expression exudes a sense of pride and strength as she goes about her daily chores. The outdoor setting, with its lush greenery and clear blue sky, adds to the serene and idyllic atmosphere of the scene.
