A young boy stands in a dry, uncultivated field in Mandisar, Afghanistan, under a clear blue sky. He is positioned slightly off-center, facing towards the viewer's right with his mouth slightly open. He wears a grey and dark blue knit beanie with an orange stripe, which has small pieces of light-colored debris attached. Underneath a dark turtleneck, he wears a long-sleeved, dark-colored garment. Over this garment, a grey-toned panel with a repeating small diamond pattern covers his chest in an inverted triangular shape, extending to decorative cuffs on his forearms. This patterned panel is bordered by light-colored piping and small, light-colored studs or beads. His visible hands show signs of dirt. In the mid-ground to the left, a low, light-colored building is visible with multiple satellite dishes on its roof. To the right, a road is present with several vehicles, including a light blue truck, and distant low-rise buildings or shops. Utility poles and overhead power lines traverse the background horizontally across the landscape. The scene is illuminated by natural sunlight.
