The image depicts a circular pencil sketch on a white background. A young child with short hair sits on the ground, wearing a dress with a belt. The child sits cross-legged, one leg in front of the other. Their right arm rests on their knee. Their left arm extends to the left with the hand partially drawn. There are some scribbled lines to the left and behind the child that may represent other figures. There are a few strands of grass drawn to the right of the child. The background of the sketch is plain white with some smudges. There is writing in the lower-left corner of the sketch. The circle is on a blue background.
