- Description
- This black-and-white photograph depicts two boys sitting on a bench. They both sit with elbows on knees; the left hand figure rests his chin in both palms, while the right hand figure supports his chin with his right hand. Both boys wear white sweatshirts with black jackets draped over their shoulders, and black baseball caps. Both gaze directly at the viewer. In the background is a wooden temporary fence through which can be seen several pairs of legs. Paper litters the ground at the base of the fence.
