Child writing

A peasant girl - the artist's sister Agathe - with blond hair, black bodice and red bosom cloth, blue apron and the little arms naked up to the elbows, sits in profile to the left at a wooden table and writes. The inkpot stands in front of the sheet of paper, behind it a bouquet of field flowers in a vase against the brown wall. The base of the table's legs can be seen. Inscribed on the left under the edge of the table with a monogram and the year 79.
