It represents a boy with a sheep in an open field, with a horizon line in the background with small hills on the left and right. In the foreground on the left, blue sheep or goat, lying facing 3/4 to the right, with front legs stretched out in front, head to the right, ears drooping. In the center, a white kite, with a blue tail, two sticks, something that looks like a piece of bamboo, and further to the right, a pot in gray and blue tones. In the center of the composition, boy in front, kneeling, with his head lowered and hands on the kite. He has brown hair, wears a slightly geometric shirt, in shades of yellow and ochre, with short sleeves and pants in the same tone. On the floor to the right, a kind of blue paper roll. A little further back, white horse in front. Clay-colored floor that extends to the bottom. In the background, two small elevations, one on the right and one on the left. Intense blue sky.
