A young African boy with a close-cropped haircut stares intensely into the camera

A young African boy with a close-cropped haircut stares intensely into the camera. He wears an orange basketball jersey with brown trim. The background shows a rural scene with trees, a dirt path, and a simple brick building. Leaves from a nearby plant partially obscure the view on both sides of the frame. He appears to be holding onto the plant's stem.
