The scene depicts seven dwarves gathered around a young woman with dark hair and a white and red dress, who lies motionless on a patch of green grass. Several of the dwarves display visible distress, clutching their heads or leaning over the woman with somber expressions. One dwarf is kneeling beside her, placing a hand on her chest, while an apple rests on the ground nearby.
The setting is a whimsical, fairy-tale forest clearing featuring a rustic stone and timber cottage in the background under a canopy of large, leafy trees. In the mid-ground, other dwarves are seen walking along a path toward the cottage, while a silhouette of a witch flying on a broomstick looms in the distant, pale blue sky. A small squirrel and a hedgehog sit quietly in the foreground near a cluster of yellow wildflowers.
The artwork is rendered in a bright, animated style with saturated primary colors. The lighting is soft and even, suggesting a daytime forest scene. The composition creates a narrative focal point around the prone figure, framed by the textured bark of the trees and the rolling landscape of the woodland backdrop. The overall mood is one of quiet melancholy, typical of classic storybook illustrations.
