Young Girl with a Basket of Flowers features a young girl, possibly a flower seller, carrying a basket of meticulously painted roses. Her colorful costume and accessories stand out against the undefined background, which further demonstrates Eugen von Blaas' painterly skill. The viewer meets the girl’s intense yet trustful gaze for merely a moment, before she will return to a day’s work.
