A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a boy with a light skin tone, wearing a patterned gray robe and head wrap, kneeling on sandy ground. Facing left, he holds a flag with a red sunburst over a model ship with straw sails. A baby in a pink garment and white cap looks toward us from the boy's back. Weathered stone steps and green plants fill the background, rendered in muted, warm tones.
