This is a painting of four children standing outdoors. Three children are on the left, standing in a circle and holding hands, while a fourth child stands slightly apart on the right, their hands on their head. The children all have pink skin and hair in shades of pale yellow and light brown, and they wear clothes including dresses with aprons in shades of red, purple, orange, pink, pale yellow, and pale green. They appear to wear colorful tights and dark shoes. The background features a blue sky, and the children stand on a patch of yellow ground with green grass in the distance. The brushstrokes are thick and short, creating a sense of movement, and the painting lacks fine details.
