This painting shows a young girl in a black dress, holding a rose. She has dark hair pulled back and is wearing a necklace. The girl is standing on a striped floor in front of a wooden bench with a carved design. The background is a plain wall with a large, rounded object on the right side. The girl's dark dress and the bench create a sense of contrast with the lighter colors of the floor and wall. The rose she's holding adds a pop of color to the scene.
