The scene depicts an outdoor, informal vendor area in Vỹ Dạ Ward, Vietnam. In the foreground and center, a young East Asian female child stands facing slightly to the left, looking directly forward. She has dark hair styled with some strands pulled back and is wearing a grey short-sleeved crop top that exposes her midriff, paired with a matching grey pleated skirt. Beneath the skirt, dark elasticized shorts are visible. She wears black open-toed sandals adorned with gold-colored embellishments. The child holds a clear rectangular plastic package to her mouth, appearing to consume its contents. Her left leg is slightly lifted, with her foot resting on its toes. Behind the child, on the left side, an adult figure is partially visible, seated low to the ground. This individual is wearing a green and brown plaid long-sleeved shirt and plaid pants, and appears to be barefoot. Their left hand is reaching into a large, bright green plastic bucket, which has the word "SURF" and other text printed on its side. Near the adult, on the ground, are piles of green string beans or similar vegetables, a single red-orange fruit (possibly a tomato), and some discarded plastic bags, one containing green leafy vegetables. A black plastic crate is partially visible near the adult's legs. The background consists of a makeshift shelter. An orange tarp forms an overhead covering, while clear plastic sheeting hangs vertically, creating a wall for the stall. Darker fabric or tarp is also visible further back. To the far right, a portion of a black motorcycle or scooter is visible, showing a front wheel, fender, and part of the fairing, with "SIRIUS" branding partially discernable. The ground is an uneven, light brown dirt surface, covered with scattered dry leaves and debris.
