The image features a small, vintage-style doll wearing a green satin suit adorned with delicate details, including a white ruffled collar and pearl decorations.

Atop its head is a cone-shaped, textured hat embellished with small decorations. The doll's limbs are proportionate with small hands, and it lies on a textured, white woven background.
