There are women sitting on the ground, probably talking or resting, and other figures that seem to be working or attending to their daily chores. Lambert strives to the details of the clothing and facial features, giving them impressive authenticity and realism that allow us to almost listen to the murmur of their voices and the creak of the earth under their feet.
