The scene depicts a sunny, outdoor environment on a hillside in Barakin Akawo, Nigeria. The ground is primarily reddish-brown dirt and unpaved. In the foreground, a young male child stands slightly left of center, facing partially towards the right. He wears a light-colored, long-sleeved collared shirt, dark brown trousers, and open-toed sandals. A distinct shadow is cast behind him to his right. A light brown rock rests on the dirt ground in the bottom left corner. The midground features a dusty slope rising from left to right, sparsely covered with dry vegetation. Multiple individuals, predominantly children, are scattered across this slope, engaged in various movements. To the left, a substantial building with a corrugated metal roof and walls is visible, with several people gathered near it. To the right, a portion of a light-colored building, possibly constructed of concrete or mud brick, is seen with an open entrance. A mound of reddish-brown earth is situated on the slope between these two structures. The background is dominated by a rugged, rocky hill composed of grey and brown rock formations. The sky above is clear and light blue.
