Two children are sitting side by side. The child on the left has short, brown hair, holds a book, and has a black cat on their lap. They wear a formal outfit and a straw hat lies on the grass near their feet. The child on the right has light blond, short hair, and holds an apple and a black hat. Both wear formal outfits. The background shows a landscape with hills, a scattered forest, and a cloudy sky.
