The scene depicts a paved road in Sandamal Eliya, Sri Lanka, ascending into the distance under an overcast sky. A young boy, appearing to be of school-going age, walks on the left side of the road's edge. He is dressed in a dark blue short-sleeved shirt and blue trousers, wearing light-colored flip-flops. In his left hand, he carries a black bag, and in his right hand, he holds a red-orange strap-like object. He is looking directly towards the viewer. To his immediate left stands a large tree with a thick trunk and green foliage, growing adjacent to a tall, grey concrete wall that extends along the left perimeter of the road. Below the wall, a strip of unkempt green vegetation is visible. Further up the road, more trees and utility poles line the path. In the background, on the right side of the road, several buildings are visible, including a multi-story structure with a red water tank on its roof. Shadows from overhead trees are cast across the asphalt road surface. In the far distance, faint outlines of vehicles and possibly other individuals can be observed on the ascending road.
