DescriptionFull-length standing portrait of a young child, probably but not necessarily a girl. The child is wearing a striped shirt, a pleated skirt, and what appears to be a short jacket or bodice. A striped cloth belt is tied below the waist. The child is leaning on the arm of a chair or sofa. A painted studio backdrop depicting wainscoting is in the background.
