The image shows a young boy standing and facing the viewer. He is holding a long object to his mouth, partially concealing his face. His facial features are obscured by the grainy black and white effect. He appears to have a youthful face with a dark complexion, wearing a striped long-sleeve shirt and a cap. The background depicts a busy street scene with other figures walking around and blurred lights, indicating an evening or night setting.
