A group of approximately six dark-complexioned children are positioned behind the vertical, light-colored metal bars of a gate in Lafia, Nigeria. The individuals include: * A child on the far left, wearing a dark top and dark head covering, holding the bars with both hands, looking right. * A child partially visible behind the leftmost one, smiling and looking forward through the bars. * A central child, bare-chested, with a clear facial view, smiling directly towards the viewer through the bars. * Below and to the left of the central smiling child, another child with a bare torso and slicked-back hair, facing right, with hands near their face and a light-colored ring visible on the right ring finger. * A child on the right, partially bare-chested and wearing patterned shorts, holds a bar with their left hand, looking left. * Another child on the far right, wearing a red head covering, holds a bar with their right hand and looks left. The children exhibit varying expressions, including smiles and direct gazes. The immediate background behind the children consists of a dirt or gravel surface, followed by a low concrete curb or wall, and then a paved road or path.
