In this painting, the artist was a typical figure of a woman in Haiti.
Even now, even here in Las Galeras, the Haitian use to carry large containers on their heads, to transport their goods for sale, with an ease and elegance amazing.
This can be baskets, aluminum bowls, backpacks, large trays or buckets and generally contain fruit, sweets, clothes, beauty products, or water.
The same picture exists in another variant, where the predominant color is red and the contents of the basket is different. (n. 161)
