A vertically oriented zincograph in reddish-brown ink on yellow paper creates three people with light skin tones. In the foreground, a girl rests her head in both hands, eyes downcast. To our left, a boy leans toward her. A dark, stylized tree stands to our right in the middle ground. In the background, a third figure peers over a wooden fence. Expressive, sketch-like lines define the scene.
