The image shows a young girl seated in a chair at a table, holding a large sheet of paper or an artwork. She appears to be drawing or writing on the paper, which is attached with drawing pins. The girl has a round face with closed eyes, a short, straight bob haircut with bangs, and wears a short-sleeved dress. She holds a drawing instrument. The background features a wall with horizontal lines, a corner with different textures meeting, and a patterned floor. To her right is a small table with a lamp and two small items, and to her left is a simple chair. The artist's signature and the year "Milton Avery 1936" are visible at the bottom of the image.
