This black and white image depicts an indoor scene in Ukwu-Abwa, Nigeria, likely within a classroom setting. In the foreground, a young Black child, possibly a girl, stands facing the camera with a slight smile. She has short hair and dark eyes. A pen or similar writing instrument is held horizontally in her mouth, pointed downwards. She wears a light-colored, short-sleeved collared shirt with a circular emblem on the left chest and a dark-and-light striped fabric band draped over her right shoulder and looped around her left wrist. Her lower attire consists of a pleated, dark-and-light checkered skirt that extends to approximately knee-length, paired with dark, possibly laced, shoes. Her left hand is open at her side. Behind her, separated by a low, two-toned wall (lighter top, darker bottom), another young Black child is partially visible in the mid-background. This child is seated at a desk, looking towards the left side of the frame, wearing a light-colored shirt with a dark pattern on the collar. The background features a dark wall, with a chalkboard or similar dark surface visible on the far left. Indistinct objects, possibly school supplies, are visible hanging or placed in the upper left background. The floor is a plain, light-colored surface. The lighting suggests an interior space.
