An outdoor scene in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, depicts one adult male and eight children gathered under a tree. The adult male stands on the left in profile, facing right, wearing a light-colored, checkered long-sleeved shirt and dark trousers. He holds a small, dark object in his clasped hands. To his right, eight children of varying ages, from toddlers to pre-teens, are clustered. One boy in a light grey patterned t-shirt and light shorts has his right hand near his mouth. Another smaller boy wears an olive-green long-sleeved shirt with a yellow excavator graphic and light brown pants. A boy in a light brown t-shirt and dark shorts stands to the right, and behind him, a girl wears a dark green top with a patterned skirt. In the foreground to the right, a boy with his back mostly to the camera wears a yellow, red, and white patterned short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans. A small child in an orange and white striped t-shirt faces the camera directly in the front-center. Another small child is partially obscured by the boy with his back to the camera, wearing a light yellow patterned dress. A final small child is partially visible in the foreground-center with their back to the camera, wearing a horizontal striped t-shirt. On the ground near the adult's feet is a reddish-orange plastic bag and some indistinct material. The environment consists of dry, reddish-brown earth with sparse dry grasses and low vegetation. The background features an open area of reddish dirt and distant, indistinct low-rise structures beneath a hazy sky. A large tree trunk is prominent on the left, with green leaves from its canopy visible at the top. The adult male appears to be interacting with the children.
