The image displays a vertically oriented oil painting, framed in ornate gold, hanging on a plain white wall. The painting depicts a young woman, identified as an "Asturiana" (Asturian woman), seated and engaged in plucking feathers from a small grey bird, likely a pigeon, held in her hands. She wears a traditional costume consisting of a white blouse, a dark bodice, a long red skirt with a darker trim, blue shoes or clogs, and a patterned yellow and brown headscarf. Her gaze is directed downwards at the bird. Scattered white and grey feathers are visible on her skirt and on the ground directly in front of her. To the woman's left, a woven wicker basket rests on the ground, containing several green leeks or spring onions and reddish-brown root vegetables. The painting's background is dark and indistinct. An informational label is affixed to the wall to the right of the painting, identifying it as "FÁGUNO DE LA LINDE / Asturiana desplumando un pichón," dated 1844, an "Óleo sobre lienzo" (oil on canvas) measuring 94 x 80 cm, and belonging to the "Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias." This precisely locates the scene within the Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias in Oviedo/Uviéu, Spain.
