The image is a charcoal portrait of a young child, shown from the shoulders up. The child is in a three-quarter profile, facing slightly to the left. The facial features are softly drawn, with a gentle expression. The child's hair is long, falling around the face in wavy strands. A hint of clothing is visible, suggested by subtle lines indicating a ruffled neckline. The background is an indistinct blurred space. The artist's signature appears at the bottom right corner of the image.
