The scene is an outdoor street or market in Kandahar, Afghanistan. A young male, approximately pre-teen, is prominently featured in the foreground, looking slightly upwards and to his right with a neutral expression. He has dark hair and is wearing a light brown quilted jacket patterned with repeated "GG" logos, featuring a circular black patch on the left chest. A light-colored fabric sling supports his right arm, visible over his right shoulder. In his left hand, he firmly holds a dark-bristled shoe brush with a dark wooden handle, positioned vertically near his mouth. The background to the left reveals a rudimentary, open-front shop structure constructed from wood and corrugated materials, displaying stacks of vehicle tires and multiple silver-colored wheel rims. Two adult males are visible near the shop entrance; one is seated on a tire wearing white traditional attire, and another is partially obscured while bent over. To the right of the central figure, a dark-clad individual or object is partially visible. The overall lighting is natural and diffused, suggesting an overcast day.
