B. Doyle

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young child sitting on a small, red upholstered stool. The child is positioned slightly sideways, facing the viewer's left. They have fair skin, blue eyes, and light blonde hair. The child wears a sky blue dress with a patterned trim, a white lace collar, and a bead necklace. They hold a book in their right hand, resting it on their knee. The background is a muted, neutral tone with a patterned carpet.
