The image depicts an outdoor scene in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, centered on a gathering of people on reddish-brown earth. A single adult male, wearing a light vest over a light shirt and dark trousers, stands towards the right, facing a group of children with his arms bent and hands open, appearing to lead or instruct. Approximately 20 to 30 children, ranging from toddlers to pre-teens, surround the adult or are dispersed across the foreground and mid-ground. Children's attire includes various t-shirts (one yellow with a black "9", others light blue) and dresses (two young girls in the foreground wear light-colored, tiered dresses). Some children are barefoot or wear sandals. On the far right, a child is on hands and knees. The ground consists of dry, uneven reddish-brown dirt. In the background, several rudimentary single-story structures made of earth are visible among sparse trees and dry vegetation. A large mound of reddish dirt with some green foliage is present on the right. Distant mountains or hills, partially obscured by haze, form the horizon under an overcast sky.
