The image shows several children standing closely together and smiling. They are depicted from the waist up, with short hair and wearing dark-colored jackets. They are standing next to a horse-drawn carriage, with the horse partially visible on the left side of the image. In the background, there is a brick wall with graffiti, including a crescent moon and a star symbol, along with some lettering. The scene suggests an urban environment with what appears to be a street or alleyway in front of the wall.
