A young boy with short dark hair in a dark teal polo shirt with a small crest on the chest and a purple lanyard around his neck stands with his head bowed. An adult's arm, with the palm pressed onto the top of the boy's head, reaches in from the left edge of the frame. Other people stand blurred in the background against a dark red wall, with a hand raised at upper left, a gold bangle visible on a wrist, and a white cloth at right. The scene suggests a blessing or touch on the head during a gathering.
