An outdoor group portrait in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, features approximately 27 individuals, including 10 adult females, 5 adult males, and 12 children ranging from infancy to early teens. All individuals are Black and are positioned in multiple rows, facing the camera with mostly neutral or slightly smiling expressions. The attire varies, consisting of casual clothing such as patterned dresses, skirts, t-shirts, and long-sleeved shirts. Specific garments include a light blue floral-patterned dress worn by a woman on the far left, and a red and white striped t-shirt worn by a man to her right. One woman on the far left holds a black smartphone in her left hand, and another woman in the center foreground holds a light-colored clutch bag. A man to the left of center also holds a smartphone. The group stands on reddish-brown soil. In the immediate background to the left is an unplastered red brick or mud-brick building. Behind the central and right portions of the group, lush green trees are visible against a bright sky. Further to the right in the background, several small, simple structures with corrugated metal roofs and brick walls are discernible, interspersed with dry vegetation. A dirt path is visible on the far right. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
