The painting shows a young girl. She's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used simple lines to draw her, which is interesting because it makes her look very calm. This style of drawing was popular back then. It was often used to make portraits of people. The artist likely wanted to show the girl's personality through her expression. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: lithography.
