The image shows a line of young girls standing side by side along the wall of a building with decorative wooden panels. The girls are wearing dresses, skirts, and blouses, some with kerchiefs around their necks. Their hair is styled in various ways, and the background features the building's wooden exterior with cutout star patterns and trees to the right. In the foreground, another girl with short hair and a neckerchief is facing the line of girls. The setting appears to be outdoors with dirt ground.
