The image depicts a young child standing upright. The child has a round face, large eyes, a small mouth, and voluminous hair styled with a headband or crown. They wear an intricate gown with a fitted bodice, puffy sleeves, and a full skirt. The gown is embellished with lace, a detailed belt, and possibly brocade patterns. The child holds a tethered bird of prey on their left hand. Surrounding them is a ornate circular frame, with parted curtains in the background. The overall background has a textured horizontal line pattern.
