On this black and white picture you can see a
blonde, little boy, standing in a park and looking straight into the camera. He
is wearing dark, short dungarees, a white, patterned shirt, sneakers with white
shoelaces and wool socks. The left strap of his dungarees is hanging loose. In
his right hand he is holding a hand grenade and his left hand is cramped.
By looking at his face, it might seem as if the boy
was quite unordinary. It leaves an impression as if he is staring into your
soul. He is twisting his mouth in a rather disturbing way, suggesting that he
was potentially mentally damaged by a tragic event that he might have
experienced while being very young. To describe the boy’s physique, it might be
correct to use the idiom “all skin and bones”. “Fit” and “healthy” would not be appropriate attributes to use.
The road the boy is
standing on is visible throughout the whole picture. It is accompanied by trees
and is fading somewhere in the background. Behind the boy you can see two tree
trunks and a series of other smaller trees on a vast area covered with grass.
On the meadow, a woman in a dark dress is standing, possibly watching the boy
and the photographer. In the right corner you can see an elder woman in a long,
dark coat, walking hand in hand with a young child.
