A full-length portrait painting of a young girl, Minnie Willard, by Archibald Willard. The girl has dark hair parted in the middle and pulled back, dark eyes, rosy cheeks, and a neutral expression. She wears a tan dress with darker tan and black accents and small blue dots. The dress has puffy white and tan sleeves, a ruffled neckline, pockets on either side of the skirt, and a diamond-patterned trim on the hem. Under the dress, she has white leggings or tights and dark brown shoes. The girl's hands are clasped in front of her. The dark background depicts trees to either side, a stone column on the right and a distant landscape on the left including a body of water, a building and hills. Two apples sit on the ground near her feet.
