Six young boys are standing in front of a vintage car. They are all positioned closely in a row and are all visible from head to toe. The first boy on the left has short hair, a plaid shirt, and dark pants, with his hands in his pockets. The next boy tilts his head down, wearing a patterned shirt with rolled-up sleeves and similar pants. The boy in the center has light hair, a horizontally striped long-sleeve shirt, and light-colored pants. Next to him is a shorter boy with neatly combed hair, wearing a dark jacket and pants. The fifth boy has a lighter shirt and darker pants and is looking at the camera. The boy on the far right is in a rolled-up sleeve checkered shirt and dark pants, leaning slightly with his hand on his hip. The background includes the vintage car, visible wheels and fender, set on a gravelly surface. In the distance, there are trees and small fencing under clear skies.
