The image shows a young girl's head and upper torso in a close-up. She appears to be facing slightly towards her left, with her gaze directed at the camera. Her facial features are visible, including light-colored eyes, freckles on her cheeks, and a straight mouth. Her hair is cut in a chin-length bob with bangs. She is wearing a light-colored garment, possibly a dress, with a pattern visible on one side near her shoulders. There is a blurred partial view of another person beside her, whose face is mostly turned away, with their hair pulled back. The background is out of focus. The lower left corner of the image contains the signature "Dorothea Lange" and the year "1938."
