The image depicts an outdoor scene in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, featuring approximately 18-20 young males, primarily children or adolescents, engaged in a ball game on a reddish-brown dirt field. Many participants are barefoot, while some wear sandals or casual shoes. Players are observed in two main attire groups: several wear light blue shirts and shorts, and others wear yellow and black shirts with dark shorts. A crude, brown ball, possibly woven, is airborne near the center-right, indicating active play. One player in a yellow and black shirt is in a mid-kick posture with his right leg raised. Other players are positioned across the field, exhibiting various active stances, including running, bending forward, and observing the ball's trajectory. In the mid-ground, a dark bicycle tire rim rests on the ground. The background consists of dry, overgrown bushes and trees, with a light-colored, single-story building featuring dark rectangular openings visible behind the foliage to the left. Another similar building is partially obscured further to the right. The lighting suggests daytime conditions.
