Description

A little boy leans against a wooden pole, next to a pile of stacked rocks. Photographed against some kind of landscape backdrop, the little boy is looking straight at someone just past the camera. Wearing a child's dress coat, a ruffled shirt and boots the little boy looks almost androgynous.
