A young, slender boy lies on his side against a makeshift, wire-mesh sifter, which is constructed of wood. The boy wears a blue jacket, black pants, and gray slides. He has dark skin and short, black hair. He rests his head on his left hand, looking up at the camera. In his right hand, he holds a piece of red and white paper. The ground surrounding the boy and the sifter is red soil, possibly sand. The scene appears to be outdoors and in a somewhat barren setting.
