The scene features a whimsical illustration of a young girl with bright red hair in two braids, wearing a simple white nightgown with thin vertical stripes. She is seen from the back, holding a round snowball in her small hands. Standing before her is a fluffy, soot-coloured black cat, which appears to be peeking out from behind a colossal gift wrapped in bright red paper and adorned with a prominent, oversized forest-green bow with gold-toned accents.
The composition uses a playful, slightly surreal sense of scale, where the gift and its bow dominate the right side of the frame, towering over the girl. To the left, a textured, golden-hued surface patterned with dark brown spots provides a warm backdrop. A gentle snowfall is depicted through small, white circular specks scattered across the entire image, lending the artwork a quiet, wintry atmosphere.
The style is reminiscent of a storybook drawing, characterized by delicate, expressive ink outlines and soft, slightly muted colour washes. The palette is dominated by festive, contrasting tones of deep red, earthy green, and warm gold. Scattered across the foreground are round, organic shapes resembling cookies or stones, adding texture to the snowy ground. In the bottom right corner, there is a small, cursive handwritten inscription that reads, "Wee, I dig, is it?" followed by a small initials-style signature.
