The image depicts a daytime scene in the city of Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, characterized by reddish-brown dirt ground and a rural or semi-urban setting. In the foreground, five young children are seated on the ground in a semi-circle, under the partial shade of a tree trunk visible on the right. Four of the children are actively engaged in playing cards, with several cards scattered on the ground and held in their hands, and a deck visible. One child, wearing an orange and white striped shirt, is on the far left. Another child, wearing a light orange top and patterned skirt, is on the right, handling cards. A fifth child stands behind the seated group, observing the game. In the midground and background, several older children or young adults are visible. Three individuals are positioned further back: one in a dark patterned shirt and red headband, one in an orange t-shirt running towards a soccer ball on the dirt, and one in a purple t-shirt with a white graphic. Simple, single-story structures with mud walls and various roof types (some thatched, some sheet material) are visible in the background, interspersed with green trees and vegetation. A range of hills or mountains is visible under a bright sky in the distant background. Shadows on the ground indicate direct sunlight.
