This painting shows a young girl standing beside a large dog. The girl has a fair complexion and straight brown hair that falls on her shoulders. She is wearing a dark burgundy dress with a white lace collar, black stockings, and shoes. She looks directly at us. The dog to the left reaches almost to her shoulder and has a light gray coat. Its mouth is slightly open, revealing a pink tongue and the tips of white teeth. The background is mostly plain gray walls, but on the right side there is elegant drapery in shades of deep red and gold with intricate teal designs.
