Two of the girls are under one umbrella on the left while the third girl is under her own umbrella on the right. They are standing on a sidewalk with storefronts and buildings visible on the left side. Of the two young girls under the shared umbrella, the one on the most left is posed with a smile, her proper right hand under her chin, and wears a light-colored crewneck sweater, a skirt, and women’s loafers. The second girl on the right is holding the umbrella with her proper right hand while she holds a long stick, which she is biting, with her proper left hand. She is wearing a shirt with a stripped cardigan, patterned pants, and tennis shoes. The young girl with her own umbrella holds it with both hands. She is wearing a turtleneck shirt, a light-colored cardigan, pants, and pointed shoes.
