A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a boy with medium-light skin tone standing beside a still pond, pictured from the shins up. He wears a dark jacket, patterned pants, and a cap with a chicken perched on top. His arms are crossed, and he gazes toward our left. Behind him, tall reeds, leafless trees, and misty mountains under a pale sky are reflected in the water's surface.
