The image shows the upper half of a young girl sitting in a formal portrait setting. She has dark hair in braids, wears a dress with lace detailing, and has a pendant around her neck. An older man to the right leans in to examine her ear with an otoscope. The background includes a plain curtain and a patterned cloth draping across the foreground.
