The image shows a young child standing upright with a slight turn of the body. The child is raising their right hand to their forehead in a saluting gesture while their left hand rests by their side. The child has light-colored hair that appears to be cut short and slightly tousled. They are wearing a light-colored double-breasted coat with a collar and two visible buttons, along with socks and dark shoes. The background is out of focus, with some indistinct shapes that may represent people standing behind the child, and there is a patch of light on the ground in front of them.
