A young girl in a white ruffled dress with floral embroidery, against a purple patterned background
The image depicts a young girl standing centrally, facing forward, against a richly patterned background. She has light skin and long, light brown hair parted in the middle, falling over her shoulders. A light blue, ruffled bow is tied in her hair on the right side of her head. Her eyes are light, and her mouth is small. She wears a white, short-sleeved dress with a high neckline. The bodice of the dress is adorned with a horizontal band of colorful embroidered flowers, including pink, red, yellow, and purple roses. The skirt of the dress is full and features multiple horizontal ruffles, with a few small, colorful floral motifs scattered on its surface. Her arms are bent at the elbows, with her hands placed on her hips, though her left hand is mostly obscured by her body. She wears light-colored shoes. The upper half of the background is a textured, mottled purple, dotted with small, light-colored flowers. The lower background appears to be a floor, a light cream color with an array of abstract shapes and patterns in various colors, including pink, green, blue, and yellow, some resembling flowers or small objects. A wavy blue and white pattern runs along the very bottom edge of the image. The artist's signature "GUSTAV KLIMT" is visible in the lower right corner.
