A painting depicts an interior view of a traditional classroom setting, located in the city of Quetta, Pakistan. The scene is sheltered by a makeshift canopy of draped yellow and blue fabric, supported by two vertical wooden poles. On the left, a male figure, presumably the teacher, dressed in white traditional attire and a white turban, stands and gestures towards a dark, rectangular blackboard angled against an earthen wall. Approximately nine male students are seated cross-legged on the ground, some on a striped rug (red, green, white) or simple mats. They wear traditional shalwar kameez and turbans in various colors, including white, blue, and yellow. Several students are holding books or slates, their attention directed towards the teacher or the blackboard. A clay pot rests on the ground near the blackboard. The lighting emphasizes the teacher and blackboard area, creating a contrast with the darker, shadowy right side of the enclosure. The background consists of rough, earthen walls.
