A vintage black-and-white photo showing a young child standing outside beside an open door. The child is wearing a light-colored dress with a dark ribbon and appears to be holding something small in one hand. On the ground next to the child is a small pushing chair with a doll. The edge of the photo is scalloped. Part of an adult, presumably walking out of the frame, is visible on the right side of the image.
