Four sketches of children's faces are depicted on a blank background. The central sketch shows a child looking slightly leftward with wide eyes and straight hair. The upper left sketch shows a child looking slightly right with prominent eyes. Below this, another face is depicted looking downward with minimal details. In the bottom right, a smiling child with shoulder-length hair is shown, possibly wearing a bow. The sketches lack detailed clothing and are set against a plain background. Some scribbled text or a signature is visible near the bottom right corner.
