A large, rectangular mixed-media artwork, approximately 100-120 cm in width, is photographed leaning against a light-colored wall in an indoor setting in Alaguntan, Nigeria. The artwork features the head and upper torso of a young child, possibly a toddler, rendered in a heavily textured, collage-like technique utilizing various materials resembling shredded paper, fabric, or fibers. The child's skin tone is composed of mottled shades of tan and brown. Its face displays wide-open dark eyes looking upwards and to the viewer's left, with a prominent white sclera. The mouth is open in an expression consistent with surprise or wonder. The child's hair is voluminous, dark, and highly textured, appearing as dense black curls or strands. A reddish-orange garment collar is visible around the child's neck and shoulders. Several small, three-dimensional butterfly figures are affixed to the artwork. A cluster of approximately seven multi-colored butterflies (featuring yellow, orange, black, and blue accents) appears on the left side of the canvas, seemingly fluttering upwards. An additional butterfly is present near the child's left temple (viewer's right), and another is positioned adjacent to the child's right ear (viewer's left). The background within the artwork transitions from a textured light blue and yellow gradient on the upper left to a more neutral, textured light tone around the child's head. To the right of the primary artwork, parts of other framed artworks are visible, leaning against the same wall, suggesting an art studio or gallery environment. The floor beneath the artwork is light-colored.
