A bronze-colored statue depicting a severely emaciated child, naked except for a light-colored loincloth, stands on a light grey stone base on a sidewalk in Victoria, Malta. The statue possesses a distended abdomen and prominent rib cage, holding a small dark cup or bowl with both hands, resting on a dark, weathered wooden-like cylindrical post. The statue's head is turned to the left. Behind the statue, a building facade comprises a red-framed glass doorway/window to the right, displaying multiple Maltese-language posters and flyers, including references to "Madonna ta' Pinu" and "Figolli," along with opening hours. To the left of this doorway, a weathered, light brown limestone wall features large, rectangular blocks with carved vertical fluting on the corner. Further left, a closed green-painted door with multiple glass panes is visible. A small white pipe fixture protrudes from the stone wall near the green door. The sidewalk consists of irregularly shaped, light grey rectangular paving stones with visible seams, some containing sparse vegetation. A white piece of paper leans against the base of the wooden post on the ground. A discarded cigarette butt is visible near the base of the building wall to the right of the statue. The environment suggests an urban street setting, likely a commercial area.
