The image is a black and white photograph of a young girl standing on a wooden bench. She is wearing a dress and a large hat, and is holding a small black purse in her hand. The girl is standing next to her mother, who is standing in front of her. They are both looking at each other and appear to be engaged in a conversation. In the background, there are several buildings and a flagpole with a flag flying in the wind. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
