The scene shows three young African boys gathered around a tree in a grassy area, seemingly outdoors. Two of the boys are sitting on the ground, deeply engrossed in a game on a wooden board with two rows of holes. The holes are filled with glass marbles. The boy on the right is focused on the game, reaching out to move a marble. The boy on the left is looking at the board. The third boy is standing and leaning against the tree trunk, watching the game intently. He is wearing a red shirt and jeans. The seated boys are wearing lighter-colored, possibly worn, shirts and shorts. In the background, other children can be seen running and playing in a field under a bright sky. The ground around the tree is a mixture of grass, dirt, and roots. There are pairs of sandals and shoes scattered nearby. The lighting suggests it is daytime.
