The scene is rendered in a realistic style, with the artist capturing the details of the women's clothing, the tools they are using, and the muddy water of the field. The use of vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes gives the painting a sense of energy and movement, conveying the hard work and dedication of the women as they labor in the rice paddy.
