A young girl stands in an arid outdoor environment in Bazar-e Panjva'i, Afghanistan

A young girl stands in an arid outdoor environment in Bazar-e Panjva'i, Afghanistan. She is positioned slightly right of the frame's center, facing forward. The girl wears a yellow head covering pulled over her head and held to her lower face with her left hand, a black long-sleeved top, a vibrant, embroidered vest or top, a pink layered skirt, and dark trousers beneath, paired with light-colored slip-on shoes. The ground is composed of dry, light-brown earth interspersed with straw and features visible animal droppings to the left of the girl. In the midground, to the left, is a large pile of hay. Behind the hay and extending across the frame is a low mud-brick wall. Beyond this wall, a rudimentary fenced enclosure constructed from wooden poles and wire mesh contains two light-colored animals, possibly goats or sheep. To the right of the girl, a tall, weathered mud-brick structure casts a shadow, with a light green bucket visible near its base. The background consists of barren, rocky hills and additional mud-brick structures under a clear sky.
