Girl in dark clothing and teal shawl presses hands against a wall in a muted landscape
A vertical painting depicts a young girl standing in a muted landscape. She is positioned slightly to the left of the center, facing towards the right but looking over her left shoulder directly at the viewer. Her light-skinned face has a neutral expression, and her dark hair is pulled back. She wears a dark, long-sleeved top, a full dark skirt that reaches her ankles, and a teal-colored shawl draped over her shoulders. Her arms are bent, and both hands are pressed flat against a light brown, textured wall or embankment that occupies the right side of the canvas. A dark shadow extends from her body onto this surface. Behind the girl, a field of light brown or tan stretches back to a line of dark green, dense trees under a cloudy, light blue and white sky. The ground in the foreground is also light brown. To the lower left, a few small green plants with delicate light purple flowers are visible. At the bottom right, a dark, irregular, block-like object rests on the ground, with the letters "COROT" inscribed in light brown on its front surface. Earthy tones dominate the palette, with dark greens, browns, and muted blues, contrasted by the girl's teal shawl and pale skin.
