Image of a girl standing on a chair resting her body on her nurse or mistress, who wears a white dress just like her. The expression of the girl and the action of the mistress when holding her hand give the idea of the affinity between the two characters, despite the social differences and the occupation of the city of Lima by Chilean troops after the disastrous events of the War of the Pacific.
