This illustration depicts a child sitting at a dining table, looking unhappily at a plate of food with a sense of frustration or dissatisfaction. The child has orange hair and is wearing an orange shirt. They are holding a fork in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, with elbows on the table, a common sign of reluctance or refusal to eat. The plate contains what appears to be a chicken leg, peas, and sliced carrots. A striped cup, possibly containing water or milk, sits to the right of the plate. The background is a simple purple, and there are zigzag lines around the child's head, indicating distress or annoyance. The image conveys the concept of a picky eater or someone who is displeased with their meal.
