The image shows the upper half of a young girl and a small child. The young girl is sitting with her body angled slightly to the side and her arms around the child. Her facial features are pronounced, with full lips and eyes that gaze directly at the camera. Her hair is voluminous and natural, giving a textured and thick appearance. She is wearing a short-sleeved, button-up shirt with vertical stripes and frayed denim shorts. Next to her sits a small child with round cheeks and slightly parted lips. The child appears to be holding a plush doll tightly against their chest. The background consists of a wooden wall with horizontal boards, and part of a wooden chair is visible on the left side of the image.
