A young child, appearing to be of African descent, with short dark hair, is depicted in a semi-crouching position on a reddish-brown dirt ground in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The child wears a dark, possibly olive green, garment with puffy sleeves and red trim along the V-neckline and sleeve cuffs. Both hands are placed on the front of the garment, appearing to hold the fabric. The child's dark brown eyes are wide open, looking directly at the viewer, and the mouth is open with the tongue extended in a playful gesture. Sparse dry grass and organic debris are scattered on the ground. The background features green vegetation including bushes and a large tree, visible against a light sky.
