She holds a book in her left hand, which is extended over a child lying in bed. The child has brown hair and wears a white gown. The child lies on their back on a bed covered with a patchwork quilt. A wooden chair with a curved leg and upholstered seat sits beside the bed. A window with a white frame and multiple panes is on the left wall. The walls are peach-colored. The room is dimly lit. The artwork is titled "Story of Golden Locks" by Seymour Joseph Guy.
