Composition ashore and white. Smooth contour lines. Representative child's half-bust, against a plain background. The figure seems to be a girl, from the front, rounded face, hair indicated by a few strokes, thin, arched eyebrows, big eyes, suggested nose, lips closed and wide and short neck. His dress is suggested by lines forming the neckline and collar.
