The image depicts three children seated on reddish-brown dirt ground against a wall constructed of reddish-brown mud bricks in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Two children in the foreground, approximate age 5-10 years, are engaged in playing a card game. The child on the left, wearing a light orange, long-sleeved garment with an indistinct pattern, sits barefoot with legs extended, holding several small, irregularly cut paper cards in their left hand. Their right hand is extended forward over the playing area. The child on the right, wearing a dark brown t-shirt and blue patterned shorts with a yellow and orange circular motif, also sits barefoot with legs extended, holding several similar paper cards in both hands. Both children appear focused on the game. A third child, partially visible behind the left child, wears an orange top and has tightly braided hair. This child is observing or participating from a slightly recessed position. On the ground between the children is a pile of thin, green, stick-like plant material. Two light brown, open-toed clogs or sandals, possibly made of earthenware or wood, are present on the ground near the right child's feet. One clog contains several small, dark, spherical objects. The ground is dry and uneven, consistent with packed earth. The mud brick wall in the background shows visible straw or plant fibers within the brick material and irregular mortar lines.
