Oval-shaped portrait of a child with fair skin and light hair, wearing a white dress, set in a gold frame with a loop at the top. The child has a neutral expression and is looking directly at the viewer. The background of the portrait is a gradient of dark to light gray, transitioning from the left to the right. The gold frame has a small loop at the top, likely for attaching to a necklace or chain. The portrait is signed in the lower right corner. The background behind the portrait is solid gray.
