The image depicts a young girl standing upright, wearing a dress with layered, ruffled skirts. Her head is slightly tilted downward as she looks towards the ground. She has short, straight hair styled into a bob that frames her face. The dress features a fitted bodice with decorative elements at the shoulders and a wide, fluffy skirt. Another person is seated to her left in the foreground, though their features and attire are less detailed. The background includes subtle sketches of curtain-like structures and furniture, suggestive of an interior setting, with a soft, pencil-like sketch quality.
