The image shows two children outdoors. One child, a girl, stands upright while appearing to support the other child, a boy, who is balanced on stilts. The girl has long, wavy hair with a headband, and wears a long dress with long sleeves and a blue sash. She is holding one of the boy’s hands. The boy has short, curly hair and wears a red coat over a white outfit with knickerbockers, knee-high socks, and shoes. He is on wooden stilts. In the background, there are trees on the left and lush shrubbery with potted roses on the right.
