A young girl is shown in a waist-up shot as she works on a black and gold treadle sewing machine. The machine is on a brown wooden table, and the girl is wearing yellow pants and tan sandals. She is threading the needle of the sewing machine. There is a spool of red thread on the top of the machine and a pair of yellow-handled scissors are on the sewing machine plate. Behind the girl is a rack of brightly colored fabrics. To the left, a boy is seated on the floor and appears to be eating. To the right, a woman is seated in a chair wearing a patterned dress. The room appears to be a workshop or tailoring space, and the focus is on the girl and her sewing.
