A young, dark-skinned male child, approximately 5-8 years old, is depicted in a close-up, looking slightly off-center with a pursed lip expression. He wears dark-rimmed eyeglasses and is shirtless. The child is positioned in front of a metal security grille composed of vertical and horizontal bars. To the immediate left, a portion of a purple plastic chair is visible. Through the metal grille, an outdoor scene in the city of Obosi, Nigeria, is visible. In the mid-ground, a woman in a red dress is seated, partially obscured, while a smaller child in a light-colored, patterned dress stands nearby. The ground in the background is unpaved and covered with numerous bundles of cut firewood. Behind these figures and the firewood, rudimentary structures with corrugated metal roofs and additional metal gating are present, indicative of street-side shops or residential buildings. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight. No direct interaction between the foreground child and the background figures is observed.
