The portrait of a girl who came from the area around Szentes full of scattered farms is often referred to as the peasant infanta: her looks are stern, she has a stiff carriage as she is sitting with a straight look on the face. The simple and open looks make this portrait particularly appealing. The composition is dominated by two colours: the green of the little girl's skirt reflecting white, blue and yellow, and the fiery red of the geranium, which projects reflexes on the child's sensitive and delicately portrayed face. The burnt umber, the reddish background and deep shadows make colours more intensive and phosphorescent, recalling the fiery colour of Hungarian pottery of old times.
