The image shows two children. One child is squatting in the foreground, looking right with a string in hand. He wears a red and white striped shirt with dark blue jeans. The other child, wearing rolled-up blue denim overalls, is partially visible in the background. They stand on a reddish-brown ground surface near a wooden structure, with blurred greenery in the distance.
