The painting depicts four children. The tallest child, a girl with red hair pulled back behind her head, wears a black dress with a white collar. Her right arm rests on the shoulder of the child to her right. This child and the child to her left are boys with red hair; they wear blue dresses with white collars. In front of them stands a girl with red hair pulled back. She wears a red dress and rests her forearms on a wooden fence. The background shows a blue sky and green trees. The children are presented within a gold oval frame.
