This is a painting of a young girl sitting on a bench, her legs crossed and her head turned to the right. Her hands are laced together, resting on the arm of the bench she sits on. The girl has fair skin, blonde hair in a braided updo, pale blue eyes, and small pink lips in a neutral expression. She is wearing a white blouse with yellow trim and a blue skirt. The wall behind her is gray with visible brushstrokes, and she casts a dark shadow on it.
