The image shows a large puppet with a yellow dress featuring intricate patterns on the cuffs and collar. The puppet wears a blue hat with a floral design and has big facial features, including red cheeks. Its legs, in blue stockings and red shoes, are visible under the dress. The color palette is bright, with yellows, blues, and reds, and detailed patterns. The puppet is centered in the composition, slightly tilting its head to the right, and leaning against a dark, rounded cushion.
