A young girl with black hair, dressed in a short white dress, holds a large bouquet of orange-pink flowers. She also wears white socks and black Mary Jane shoes. A large straw hat hangs on her back. She seems to be looking at a long green vine attached to her bouquet, which has many green leaves at the end.
