Four children playing atop a tree stump. The oldest is a female figure, standing with her arms stretched above her head as she looks toward the sky. A little girl stands just behind her on her proper left side, looking slightly downward. A young boy sits just behind her proper left side, his gaze directed toward the base of the stump where another young boy sits looking up toward him.
