This painting shows a young child sitting in an ornate armchair. The child has short blonde hair and is wearing a white dress with a white collar and cuffs, and black boots. They are holding a blue doll in their lap. The chair is red with gold accents and has a high back with carved wooden details. The background of the painting is a plain wall, which suggests that the focus is on the child and the chair. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye to the child's face and the intricate details of the chair.
