The painting shows a young girl sitting at a table, surrounded by various cuts of meat and fish. The table is covered with a white cloth, and the girl is wearing a white dress with a dark necklace. In the foreground, there are some vegetables, including carrots and leafy greens. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of simplicity and quietness, with the girl lost in thought as she gazes at the food in front of her. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the girl and the food.
