The image depicts two people in a dynamic pose. One person is wearing a white dress with a pink bodice and has curly hair with a large feather. The other person is in motion, wearing a blue coat and yellow stockings. Both have round faces with distinct facial features. The smaller person is leaning backward, reaching upward. A tricorn hat lies on the floor. The background is plain and light gray to highlight the figures.
