The painting, titled "The Girls," features a group of eight young girls standing in a lush field of wildflowers. The girls are dressed in dark-colored dresses and appear to be from a lower socioeconomic class. They are arranged in a loose formation, with some standing and others sitting. In the background, a small village is visible, complete with houses and a church steeple. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of simplicity and innocence.
