An italian scene depicting three young girls and two older women making baskets in Naples. They are dressed in traditional clothing and sit together in a yard of stone Mediterranean houses, quietly working. Terracotta pots, some holding flowers, are placed around the yard. Stone steps in the background lead up to a doorway where a rug is draped over a railing around the house. The sky is clear and blue.
