Half-length portrait of a young child in a pink dress with white lace around neckline and sleeves and flowers in her hair. She wears a double strand of coral beads tied in back with a white ribbon. She holds a peach. It was believed that coral protected children from the "evil eye" and peaches were a symbol of virtue.
