A young child, approximately toddler-aged, with dark skin and short dark hair, is depicted crying in a close-up, eye-level shot in Barakin, Nigeria. Tears are visible around both eyes, the mouth is open, revealing lower teeth and saliva, and the facial muscles are contorted in distress. The child wears a white short-sleeved t-shirt with a red and green strawberry graphic on the chest, and light brown pants; both garments show signs of dirt or dust. A dark cord necklace with a clear, rectangular pendant containing a gold-colored cross is worn around the child's neck. The background consists of rough, rocky ground composed of various brown and tan stones. To the left, a reddish-brown corrugated metal structure is visible. To the right, part of a light-colored building with a dark roofline is present. Overhead power lines traverse a clear, bright blue sky in the upper background. The scene is illuminated by strong, direct sunlight.
