The image depicts a child standing against a brick wall, facing the camera. The child is holding a photo up to their face, partially obscuring it. The child has light, short hair and is wearing a sleeveless, striped outfit with buttons on the straps. The photo being held up appears to be of the same child. The brick wall behind the child has distinct horizontal lines and a shadow cast by the child.
