Portrait of a girl of young age, represented in sedentary and frontal position. It emphasizes its curly hair of intense reddish color, treated with loose and luminous brushstroke. The face presents a serene and slightly melancholic expression, with special attention to the gaze, central element of the composition.

She wears a flowing white dress, resolved by layers of fluid brushstrokes that suggest volume and texture rather than academic detailing. The girl holds polychrome flowers, both in her hand and pinned to her chest, providing chromatic contrast and symbolism.

The background is undefined and atmospheric, dominated by greens, ochers and blues, executed with free brushstrokes, which reinforces the sense of intimacy and focuses attention on the figure.
