This painting shows a young girl, Margot, sitting in a chair. She's wearing a big, floppy bonnet and a white dress. Her face is tilted slightly, and her eyes are looking down. The picture is made with drypoint, a technique that creates detailed lines and textures. The artist has used this method to capture the softness of Margot's face and the folds of her dress.
