A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts Robert Kennedy and a youth with light skin tones playing football on a grassy field. In the foreground, the youth faces away, legs spread wide in dark socks and a light button-down shirt. Opposite them, Kennedy leans forward gripping a football, wearing a dark sweater over a collared shirt and light trousers. To our right, a large, shaggy dog stands with its mouth open against a fence.
