The image is a black and white photograph of a young boy driving a small boat on a canal. The boy is sitting in the driver's seat and appears to be focused on the task at hand. He is wearing a suit and tie and is holding the steering wheel with both hands. Behind him, there are several other boats on the canal, some of which are also visible. The canal is lined with wooden poles and there are buildings in the background. The sky is overcast and the water is calm. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
