The image shows a child standing against a wooden wall. The child is standing with one leg bent at the knee and foot resting on the other leg, and hands resting on the hip. He has short, dark hair and a neutral expression. The child is wearing a loose, worn-out t-shirt with a deep neckline and a pair of shorts, both appearing dirty and stained. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held by the child. The background consists of a rough-textured wooden wall and what appears to be a thin mattress or bed against which the child is standing.
