Lithograph of a girl in a yellow wrap sitting in a flowery meadow with a village in the background.

In this image, a barefoot girl is seated in the foreground in a flowery meadow. Her hands are folded in her lap over her yellow shawl, and she shows us her profile as she looks right towards a green shrub with white flowers. Behind her to the right of the image is a rooster crowing. In the Background is a village on a hillside with brown, red and blue roofs. Three figures in brown, yellow, or red clothing work the land under a yellow sun. The bottom third of the image is mostly blank except for the words "FROEHLICHES OSTERFEST."
