The image portrays an arid, dust-hazed outdoor scene within the city of Unknown, Afghanistan. A dirt path dominates the foreground and mid-ground, where an adult female, seen from behind and dressed in a blue burqa, walks away from the viewer. She carries one small child, and another small child walks beside her. To the far left, a rudimentary structure stands, composed of metal sheeting and wire mesh, topped with straw or debris, and featuring a bicycle wheel leaning against its side. The mid-ground beyond the path consists of open, light-brown earth with several small piles of dirt and scattered refuse. High, light-brown, mud-brick or adobe walls form enclosures across the scene, extending into the background and along the right side, where a section of wall exhibits an irregular, pointed top. Green cultivated plants are visible in patches along the right edge of the path. Distant, hazy mountains are discernible under a pale sky.
