This image depicts an outdoor scene in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, featuring approximately twenty children in a village setting under clear, bright skies. In the immediate foreground, a young girl with dark skin and braided hair wears a light-colored, soiled long-sleeve shirt and a blue and yellow floral skirt with green flip-flops. She looks to the left with her mouth slightly open, her left arm extended to the right, holding a small reddish-orange object. To her right, another child is partially visible, holding a green fruit to their mouth, appearing to eat it. A plastic bottle containing a yellow liquid is visible on the dry, reddish-brown earth near this child. In the midground, a diverse group of children, ranging in age, are gathered. One child holds a blonde doll dressed in a light-colored garment. Other children wear various casual clothing, including t-shirts, shorts, and dresses; one boy wears a blue jersey with "BRYANT" visible. Some children observe the camera, while others interact with each other or the doll. Further back, on an expansive dirt field, several boys in yellow and black sports jerseys are visible, suggesting an ongoing activity or game. The background features multiple single-story structures constructed from reddish-brown mud brick or similar materials, many topped with thatched roofs, characteristic of a rural settlement. Green trees and sparse vegetation punctuate the landscape. In the far distance, large mountains rise under a bright, light blue sky. The overall environment is dry and dusty.
