The image depicts a young boy standing in a three-quarter view from the waist up, slightly to the side of the frame. He is straight and facing the camera, with dark short hair and facial features that include a youthful, calm expression. The boy is wearing a light-colored long-sleeve shirt and light-colored trousers. Large leaves surround him, with a round gourd or pumpkin visible among the foliage. The background consists of a textured wall partially covered by the plant leaves.
