Line: Automatically, you are attracted to her face, which is looking down, and her arms are folded in her lap and angled in the same direction that she is looking, which makes you notice the mice and what shes looking at.
Color: The color red in the dress does not fit the age for the child. It is more mature that it should be. This emphasizes the expectation from the girl. She is expected mature than she's suppose to be. IN contrast, the soft and pale color of her skin shows her innocence, purity, and softness in her character. The background color has a dark brown shade; it contrast the brightness of color red of the dress. It shows or showing the societal background of the girl.
Texture: The flow of the painting is soft and calming. Even if the dress is a vibrant color you can still see her innocence. Her hair is natural, but she also looks grown up for her age.
Design/Layout: She seems to be expected to be more mature than she is seems to be a child. She looks unhappy practicing the flute and delight to see the mice. There is a lot expected from her at such a young age and a lot forced upon her.
Shape: The way she is sitting she does not seem too enthused about the flute, it shows how relaxed she is about what she is supposed to be doing and more interested in the mice that came along.
Light/Shadow: There's bright and dark. The bright is the front of the painting. In other words, the focus, which is the child. The brightness is reflecting her childhood; curiosity, vibrant character, and her potential talent, hence, the flute. The dark or shadow behind her could mean what's holding her back to what she wants, and that is her parents' conflicting idea on they want her to be.
Style: The style is persuasion, because her parents are being overwhelming, shown as the dark background and the vibrancy of her dress giving her a mature look. They are persuading to do something she does not want to do.
Medium: The medium is painting.
