An elderly woman, dressed in a patterned green and white sari, ascends a rugged, blue-painted staircase in what appears to be a courtyard or interior space in Jodhpur, India. The walls and steps are all painted in a deep, vibrant blue, characteristic of the city's old quarter. Sunlight streams down from above and to the right, illuminating the woman and casting dramatic highlights and shadows on the textured walls. A doorway leads to another blue-walled area below, and various household buckets and containers are visible near the bottom of the stairs.
