The scene depicts an unpaved, dusty outdoor area in Akwanga, Nigeria, under bright daylight. In the foreground, a child, appearing to be male, lies prone on the dark brown, pebbly ground. The child is dressed in a dark blue long-sleeved top with red accents on the shoulders and sleeves, and dark trousers with a red patterned design and white vertical stripes. Both hands are extended forward, clutching a light-colored, spherical object identified as a ball, which features a green patch and appears somewhat deflated. The child's head is turned towards the viewer. To the left in the midground, a light-colored animal, possibly a goat, is partially visible, positioned on the ground, seemingly grazing or sniffing. Behind this animal, a building constructed of grey concrete blocks is visible, fronted by a large, teal-colored metal gate. To the right, a large tree trunk with prominent exposed roots borders the scene. Adjacent to the tree's base, a broken wooden chair or stool lies on its side. Further back, a section of a building with rusted corrugated metal siding is discernible. In the far background, another individual, likely a young person, stands near a building, dressed in a white top and dark lower garment, facing towards the left side of the frame. The ground is dry earth with scattered debris and patches of shade cast by the overhead tree.
