The painting captures the wondrous awkwardness of a teenage girl precariously positioned on a rock, like a butterfly ready to spread wings and take off into the bluish vastness. The oversized boyishness of her clothes is juxtaposed against the tenderness of her profile and the lankiness of her underdeveloped frame. The limited palette, which is mostly in blue and neutral tones, speaks to the underdeveloped sense of self, tentativeness and hope.
