The image captures an outdoor scene in Kakungu, Democratic Republic of the Congo. A young child with dark skin and a shaved head is seated on reddish-brown earth in the foreground. The child wears a short-sleeved garment with a vibrant pattern of orange, blue, green, yellow, and red floral and geometric motifs. The child's right hand is raised, with fingers touching the mouth, and both bare feet are visible, coated with dirt. The child looks directly forward. In the background, a building constructed of exposed reddish-brown bricks features a doorway draped with a patterned fabric. A second child, wearing a light-colored top and patterned lower garment, is partially visible standing within this doorway. Sparse vegetation and trees with green foliage are present in the far background, beneath an overcast sky. A crumpled purple woven sack lies partially visible in the bottom right corner of the frame.
