The image is a photograph of a young boy in a scout uniform, standing next to an older man. The boy is holding a book in his hands and appears to be reading from it. The older man is standing behind the boy, with his hands clasped together in a prayer-like gesture. The background is dark and there are other people visible in the background. The photograph is framed in a gold-colored frame. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
