A painting of the title "Girl on a Donkey" by artist Isidore Pils. The girl sits on a brown donkey with a white muzzle and ears pointed upwards. The girl wears a white shirt with short sleeves, a blue skirt and a white hat with a brown ribbon. The donkey wears a brown and yellow saddle blanket and a rope halter with a lead rope hanging down. The background is a light beige color. The girl and donkey are facing right. The girl looks over her left shoulder, and the donkey looks forward. The girl holds the donkey's reins in both hands. The painting is rendered in a realistic style with visible brushstrokes. The color palette is muted. The composition is simple, with the girl and donkey centered.
