A lovely image of a seated young girl who looks beyond the photographer. She is dressed in plaid with a white embroidered tie at her neck. Her hair is braided and curled over her ears and she has her embroidery in her hand. The thimble and wicker basket sit on the table beside her. A floral drape and table covering set the scene.
