The image shows an upper-body view of a young person who is seated. They are turned slightly towards the right side. Their facial features include closed lips, a softly rounded nose, and they are looking outwards. The person has short, curly hair styled close to the head. They are dressed in old-fashioned attire with a tightly fitted bodice, low neckline, and puffed sleeves, reminiscent of an 18th-century style. The attire is detailed with folds, lace, and a ribbon tied around the shoulder. They hold a shuttlecock in their left hand and a racket in their right hand. The background is a plain textured surface.
