The painting depicts a young child looking through a post box. The child is a boy with short brown hair, wearing a beige long-sleeved shirt and a long red skirt with a paisley pattern. He is barefoot and standing on a stone floor with scattered leaves. The post box is dark brown and tall with a pointed roof. A broom leans against the wall to the right of the post box. The wall is made of stone and has a large window on the left side. Outside the window is a grassy area with trees. A person can be seen sitting on a bench.
