The scene takes place outdoors in Gwafan, Nigeria

The scene takes place outdoors in Gwafan, Nigeria. A woman with dark skin and a direct, smiling expression is positioned centrally, holding an infant. She wears a light blue and dark brown patterned headwrap and a matching long-sleeved dress featuring abstract swirls and geometric patterns. Her hands support the infant. The infant, also with dark skin, wears a matching light blue and dark brown patterned dress, a black knitted head wrap, a white long-sleeved undershirt, white footed tights, and black and white patterned mary-jane style shoes. The infant's gaze is directed forward. To the right of the central figures, a second woman with dark skin is partially visible, wearing a lavender-colored dress adorned with white or silver embellishments along the neckline and front. Her right hand is positioned near the infant's left leg. In the blurred background to the left, several other individuals are present, including one person holding what appears to be a book. The immediate background consists of a light-colored, possibly stucco, building wall with visible texture and minor discolorations. A dark, open rectangular frame, consistent with a doorway or window, is visible behind the woman and infant. A roofline or building edge is present in the upper background. The entire scene is illuminated by bright, natural daylight.
