The painting captures the fleeting moment of a young country girl heading into the mountains and fields to pick wild flowers and plants. It is late spring, when all vegetation is lush and verdant. The girl, with a wicker basket slung over her arm, has gone out to gather wild chrysanthemums, planning to bring these fresh blooms back home. The entire composition presents a tranquil and unpretentious snippet of idyllic rural daily life.
