A young boy, approximately 4-7 years old, is depicted outdoors in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He wears a white, embroidered Taqiyah (skullcap) and a light blue, long-sleeved tunic with button details on the collar. The boy holds a broom made of numerous bundled natural fibers in his right hand, angled upwards and to the right. His gaze is directed downwards and slightly to the right, towards a partially visible head of another individual in the lower right foreground. The ground is a stained, light-colored concrete or paved surface. In the background, an weathered building facade is visible. To the left, a set of light-colored, chipped and discolored metal-framed doors or windows with glass panes show indistinct reflections. To the right, a vertical section of a light-colored, possibly stucco or concrete, wall displays vertical streaks of discoloration, with a translucent, light-colored fabric or curtain partially visible in the upper right. A dark electrical cable or hose lies on the ground near the boy's left side.
