This watercolour painting depicts a young Armenian girl, rendered in a realistic style. She is dressed in a pink top and a long yellow skirt, with a white cloth wrapped around her waist. Her hair is tied back with a red and yellow headband, and she wears white shoes. The girl's gaze is directed to the left, and her posture suggests a sense of movement. The background of the painting is a plain white, which serves to highlight the subject's features. The artist's use of watercolour creates a soft, delicate effect, drawing the viewer's attention to the girl's gentle expression.
