The image shows a young child captured from the waist up in a standing position. The child has curly light hair that frames their face. Their facial features appear soft and calm, with eyes looking directly at the camera. The child is wearing a loose-fitting gown with a ruffled collar and long sleeves. They hold a bundle of peacock feathers in their hands, which are positioned around the waist area. The backdrop is a dark, indistinct background.
