The image depicts a young girl in a full-body portrait. She is standing upright with her right hand resting on a rock, holding a small basket with her left hand. The girl has long, light brown hair tied back with bangs, wearing a long-sleeved burgundy dress with a white lace collar, maroon stockings, and brown boots. Lace trim is visible at the hem of the dress. The background shows a landscape with green hills, a river, and an open sky. The scene is enclosed within an oval frame within an ornate wooden frame.
