A young, dark-skinned female child stands barefoot on an uneven, light-colored concrete surface in Alade, Nigeria. She wears a pink sleeveless dress and has braided hair adorned with reddish-brown beads. A black and white leopard print fabric is draped over her left shoulder and arm. She looks directly at the camera with a faint smile. Behind her, a low concrete wall delineates a dusty, unpaved area. In the background, several single and multi-story residential buildings, varying in construction status and condition, are visible under an overcast sky. Two white vehicles are parked in the far-left background, and a bright blue pillar or structure is partially visible on the extreme left of the foreground. Sparse vegetation and utility poles are present in the distant landscape.
