The painting depicts four young girls playing with a ball on grass. The girl in the foreground wears a red dress, black Mary Jane shoes, and has light brown hair; she bends down to pick up the ball. The girl next to her wears a white dress with red spots, black Mary Jane shoes, and has dark brown hair; she looks down at the girl with the red dress. Behind them to the right, one girl wears a yellow dress and dark stockings; she appears to throw a ball. The girl next to her wears a light-colored dress and a dark scarf; she has her hands raised to her head. The background shows a blue sky with white clouds and some foliage. The scene by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is titled "Children Playing Ball".
