Next to her is a yellow bag with things. In the foreground to the right is the grey surface of the river, a tree with a cracked trunk that has fallen into the water, cut off by the right and lower edges of the canvas. In the background, right profile, there is a girl in a pink skirt running after a butterfly with a net in her hands. In the centre is a boy playing with a ball and a white dog. In the background, on both sides of a gentle meadow, there are trees. The sky is light blue. In the lower left corner in brown paint is the author's signature and date: "G. Sergeev 1976".

Description of the incident location
It was opened on May 27, 1978, in the former City Hall building, an architectural monument of the early 20th century. As of 2022 (before the robbery), the museum's collection included more than 13 thousand works of art and was one of the most interesting museum collections in Ukraine. It includes works of Ukrainian and foreign painting, graphics, sculpture, and decorative and applied arts. From October 31 to November 4, 2022, the Kherson Art Museum was looted by the russian occupiers, and more than 10,000 of its most valuable exhibits were stolen. The cargo was sent to Crimea, and the works (all or part of them) ended up in the Simferopol Central Museum of Tavrida. It is unknown whether everything is still there.
