A young child with short wavy hair stands barefoot facing the camera in a dark, short-sleeved playsuit with a buttoned front. The background is plain and light, possibly sand, with no other people or objects in view.
The card was sent in 1910 with the note "What do you think of this," a phrase that suggests the child was known to the sender and recipient. Small portraits of children were common in the period, often made to share with family and friends.
