Photograph of a full length portrait of a young boy standing, facing three-quarters to the right. He gazes upwards, away from the camera. He holds an object in front of his body, the object's weight supported by a strap over the boy's shoulder. The young boy wears a cap, a scarf, a dark colour jacket, trousers and leather shoes. The photograph appears to have been taken outside.
