The image displays a child standing and facing forward. The child has a round face with rosy cheeks, wide blue eyes, and a small closed mouth. The child's hair is light and short. They are wearing a yellow dress with ruffled off-the-shoulder sleeves and holding a blue ribbon attached to a small dog with a beige and brown coat on a green cushion. The background shows greenery, trees, a small house, water with sailboats, and a village in the distance.
