An outdoor scene in Tudun Murtala, Nigeria, depicts a young boy walking across a wide, flat expanse of reddish-brown, dry earth under a clear, hazy sky. The boy, viewed from behind, wears a light-colored short-sleeved shirt, light trousers, and light shoes. He carries several light-colored, elongated planks or sticks balanced across his left shoulder, extending to his left. His right hand holds a smaller, light-colored object, possibly a tool, extended forward. A distinct shadow of the boy and his carried items is cast on the ground to his left. In the mid-ground, a long, unpainted, rough earth or mud wall runs horizontally, separating the open ground from the background. Beyond this wall, structures consistent with industrial or residential buildings, including one with a light-colored, sloped roof, are visible amidst sparse foliage. The immediate foreground features a lighter, irregular patch of material on the ground to the lower left.
