The image shows a sketch of a boy standing with his hands behind his back and facing forward. He has a wide smile, round face, dark tousled hair, and is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, knee-length pants with a patched knee, and no shoes. The background is textured, and on the left side, "A BOY" is written vertically. The artist's signature, J. Wells Champney, is at the bottom of the image.
