An outdoor scene in an unpaved urban area within Zaria, Nigeria, is centered on a young male child, estimated to be between 8 and 12 years old, who stands facing the camera. He has dark skin, short dark hair, and wears black sunglasses resting on top of his head. He is dressed in a light beige, long-sleeved, vertically striped tunic featuring a V-neck opening with light blue embroidered details and a front pocket, worn over dark blue trousers. His feet are covered by multi-colored (green, yellow, and pink) flip-flops. The child's left hand rests on a length of dark, possibly rusted, rectangular metal tubing lying on the ground. Strong sunlight from the upper left casts a distinct shadow of the child and the metal onto the reddish-brown, dusty earth. The ground is uneven, scattered with small debris. In the background, to the left, a large blue plastic barrel is visible near a low concrete structure. Further back, an orange-yellow 'Keke Napep' (auto-rickshaw) is parked, with an individual in a red shirt nearby. Other people, including one wearing a dark garment and another on a motorcycle, are discernible in the distant background. The environment suggests an active, unpaved street or open market area.
