Artist, Jamaican British, born 1951

The image depicts a young boy standing on a smooth, paved road outdoors. He is shown in a full-body shot, with one hand on his hip and the other hand resting on a bicycle seat beside him. The boy has a friendly expression, short, neatly trimmed hair, and is wearing a light-colored t-shirt, flared jeans, and casual shoes. A small flag with a Union Jack design is attached near the bike's handlebars. Tall trees line the background, creating a canopy of foliage under an overcast or gently sunlit sky.
