In Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, six young children are observed playing outdoors on reddish-brown earth. Four children are prominently featured in the foreground, engaged with the ground, while two additional children are visible by their lower legs and feet in the upper right background. The child on the far left, partially kneeling, wears a black short-sleeved shirt, blue trousers, and a single red flip-flop on the right foot, with their left foot bare. They hold a small light-colored object in their left hand. Adjacent to them, a child kneels, wearing an orange short-sleeved shirt over long blue sleeves and dark trousers, with both hands on the ground. Central to the frame, a child lies prone on their stomach, wearing a light-colored, dirt-stained long-sleeved top and matching trousers, their right hand positioned near a yellow toy car. To the right of the central child, another child kneels or leans forward, wearing a yellow short-sleeved top and dark trousers. A purple bracelet adorns their right wrist as their hand reaches towards a small red object on the ground. In the upper right background, two separate pairs of lower legs and feet are visible, each wearing light-colored trousers and slip-on sandals, indicating two additional children standing or moving within the scene. The environment consists of reddish-brown soil, characteristic of laterite, with scattered patches of dried vegetation and some darker, possibly burnt or damp, areas of earth, particularly towards the upper right portion of the frame. The children are engaged in ground-level play, interacting with small objects and the earthen surface.
