Both of her hands lie with curved fingers next to each other on a large crumpled piece of fabric on her lap. Her head bent forward and her gaze are also aimed at it. Maybe she's sewing. On the right on a piece of fabric, the other woman is squatting behind a flat stone where she rolls out with both hands with a stone roller dough. She is wearing a Portuguese blouse with long sleeves (hate) and a wrapped wrappel skirt (Redda) raised above the knees. On the floor next to her is a bowl with, probably, a slice of dough.
