The image shows a young boy sitting on a rock. His right leg is bent, and his left hand is grasping his knee. His mouth is open as if he is shouting. The boy has bushy eyebrows and curly hair. He is wearing a light-colored shirt that seems unbuttoned. The ground around him is rugged with rocks, and there is a dark background.
