The stuffed bag lying by her side may contain money. In the dark night around her the landscape is not suggestive of a pathway, which would have indicated that she was on her way when the night fell. Her dismayed face with the anxious look on it suggests that she has lost her way, and maybe on the look for someone to help her. But this is not the complete solution of the puzzle.
She has a delicate figure, fine fingers and transparent complexion, all too contrary to the heavy luggage which she to have been carrying. Equally strange is the lack of attendants or servants, who used to be a regular part of the paraphernalia of ladies of rank.
The artist, by using the dark back-drop bounded on the top by an illuminating line of colorful clouds and on to the bottom by a few illuminating boulders defining the earth against the darkness, has skilfully projected his figure with her deep red gown, golden head-dress, shash and shawl and her arms and utensils. Her white dog too gets shaded with the darkness of the night, and her bag with a slightly varying tone looks like a large size boulder.
