This painting shows a young girl, Miss Louisa Oakley, wearing a large black hat with a yellow scarf wrapped around her head and neck. She has her arms crossed in front of her, and she's dressed in a long brown coat. The background is a plain grey color. The girl's clothing and the style of the painting suggest that it was made in the 19th century. The artist used watercolor to create a soft, delicate look.
