Two young male children are depicted outdoors in Zango, Nigeria, on an unpaved, sandy surface under bright sunlight. In the lower-left foreground, a child, viewed mostly from the back, wears a dark short-sleeved top and faded pink trousers. He is barefoot and crouched, holding a spherical, light brown object resembling a worn soccer ball with both hands in front of him, facing right. To the right and slightly behind, another child is in mid-stride, facing partially left. He wears a grey knit beanie, an orange collared shirt over a lighter long-sleeved undershirt, blue trousers, and dark sandals with red accents. A dark backpack is visible on his back. His right arm is extended upwards and backward, while his left leg is raised as if in motion. The ground is composed of light brown, dry sand or dirt, with scattered small debris and visible footprints. In the background, an unpaved road recedes, flanked by various buildings. These include structures with light-colored, cracked plaster walls, a multi-story building with a light pink facade, and several smaller commercial-style structures made partially from corrugated metal sheeting, one bearing "Comm" on its side. Additional individuals are faintly visible in the far background near the buildings. Strong overhead sunlight casts distinct shadows of the children onto the ground.
