A young girl is seated on a large, exposed tree root in Akwanga, Nigeria. The outdoor setting features reddish-brown dirt ground with prominent, gnarled tree roots and sparse green vegetation. The girl, exhibiting dark skin and braided hair, wears a bright yellow short-sleeved collared shirt, a green skirt or shorts, and brown open-toed sandals. A small hoop earring is visible in her left ear. She is looking downwards and to her right. Her right arm is bent, with her index finger extended and pointing slightly forward and downward, while her left hand rests on her lap, possibly holding a folded white item. Scattered small pieces of white debris are visible on the dirt surface.
