This painting shows a young girl with her hair in pigtails, looking over her left shoulder. She is dressed in a dark top with a ruffled collar. The image is a lithograph, which means it was made by drawing on a stone and then transferring the image to paper. The technique gives the portrait a soft, delicate quality. If you like this kind of art, you might want to look up more about the Impressionism movement.
