The image depicts three children grouped closely together. The foreground child has their face in profile with straight, shoulder-length hair. Another child is partially visible with short hair and a focused gaze. A third child with short hair is seen in profile with eyes closed. The group is separated by shadows, with a silhouette resembling a doll or picture nearby. The background has a dark crosshatch pattern.
