The image depicts a group of approximately eleven African children, estimated to be between 2 and 10 years old, gathered on reddish-brown dirt ground in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The scene is outdoors, with sparse, indistinct vegetation visible in the distant background on the left. The children are informally arranged in a loose semicircle, with several sitting cross-legged or kneeling. Their attire consists of casual, often soiled, t-shirts, tank tops, and shorts in various colors including blue, orange, brown, and tan. Some are barefoot, while one child wears orange sandals. In the lower center of the frame, three small toy vehicles—one yellow truck, one blue car, and one red-orange object—are placed on the ground, indicating a shared play activity. A boy in a blue t-shirt on the left side extends his right arm, pointing towards the toys or another child, with a focused expression. He wears a silver-colored bracelet on his right wrist. A girl with braided hair and red beads is kneeling nearby, looking downwards. Other children are observing the toys or looking at the camera with neutral to engaged expressions. One boy in a bright orange t-shirt has his left arm draped over the shoulder of another boy in a striped shirt. The children appear actively engaged in the play scenario.
