Two dark-skinned individuals are depicted in an outdoor, semi-urban setting in Akwanga, Nigeria

Two dark-skinned individuals are depicted in an outdoor, semi-urban setting in Akwanga, Nigeria. The primary subject is a young girl, approximately 5-7 years old, positioned towards the foreground and slightly right of center. She has dark hair styled in multiple small knots across her head and a small, faded scar visible on her forehead. She wears a sleeveless garment or wrap made of colorful patterned fabric, featuring geometric designs in blues, purples, yellows, and reds, transitioning to a large white and black floral or sunburst pattern on the lower visible portion. The garment has an orange-brown crocheted edge along the shoulder lines. She is smiling broadly and looking directly at the camera. On the girl's back, secured by what appears to be the same patterned fabric, is an infant. The infant, also dark-skinned, has short, curly dark hair and is wearing a white long-sleeved top with a repeating red pattern, possibly cherries. The infant is smiling and looking towards the camera, positioned over the older girl's left shoulder. The background consists of a light brown dirt ground, with a small section of concrete or paved surface visible in the lower-left foreground where green flip-flops are partially visible. A thin stick lies on the ground near the older girl's waist. In the mid-ground, to the right, an elongated, light-colored rock rests on the dirt. Behind these subjects, blurred structures include a building constructed from unpainted cinder blocks or bricks, featuring a dark red door on its right side. Another building or structure is partially visible on the left, and sparse vegetation is present further in the distance. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
