Four tall figures and one shorter figure stand in a pink, brown, and yellow room. They all look up with white and red skull-like faces. One of the central taller figures holds onto the shorter figure, who is holding onto the string of a kite that lays on the ground in front of the figures. The figure on the far right of the composition looks at a small, framed painting on one of the walls.
