A street performer engages a gathered crowd, including both adults and children. The audience is seated on the ground and standing, fixated on the performer who appears to be controlling a puppet. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees illuminated by overhead streetlights, creating a lively night atmosphere.

An open children's book is laid out on a wooden surface, featuring a story titled 'The Little Match Girl.' The page is adorned with colorful illustrations, including a decorative wreath with orange bows at the top. On the left, there's a drawing resembling a nativity scene and radiant star. On the right, there are small illustrations of people in winter attire standing near a brick wall.
