A shaved-headed child in an orange-and-blue shirt with glasses leans in from the right, reaching into a yellow cup, while another child with dark hair in an orange top sits at the left edge. Cups hold red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue and teal powders, with scattered coloured dust on the floor and a pink cloth beside them.
