The image depicts an outdoor scene in the city of Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, featuring a group of children in a reddish-brown dirt clearing. Eleven visible children, primarily males ranging from approximately 6 to 14 years old, are present. In the foreground to the left, a boy in a light blue and white short-sleeved shirt, dark patterned shorts, and reddish-brown flip-flops walks towards the left, looking forward. In the midground, a cluster of approximately seven boys is gathered. One boy, wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt with "N. NGALULA 9" on the back and light blue shorts, stands with his back partially to the viewer, facing inward towards the group. Another boy in a similar light blue shirt and shorts faces him, appearing to gesture with his right hand. Other boys in this central group wear a mix of light blue and yellow short-sleeved shirts with shorts or trousers; some wear sandals, others appear barefoot. One boy to the right of this central cluster wears a light blue shirt, dark jeans, and dark flip-flops, holding a small light-colored object in his right hand. A smaller boy in a light blue shirt and shorts stands facing right, in front of him. In the background to the right, a boy in a yellow short-sleeved shirt and dark shorts stands with his hands on his hips. Further in the background, near rudimentary buildings, another boy in a yellow shirt is visible, with his arms raised. The environment includes several single-story buildings constructed from reddish-brown earth bricks or mud in the background. Some buildings feature traditional thatched roofs, while others have flat roofs. Sparse, dry vegetation and several green-leafed trees are visible beyond the structures. The sky is clear, and natural daylight illuminates the scene, casting shadows from the right, suggesting daytime conditions. The children appear to be engaged in casual interaction or standing around, with no specific organized activity visibly underway.
