One boy (right) has his back turned to us, and the other boy (middle left) faces the viewer with a sneaky expression. This boy has simple features - red cheeks and dark eyes - and their clothes are bright and distinct. Their clothes, including a hat, overalls/vest, tie and flared pants are red, turquoise, black, brown, and yellow. The background is a distorted mixture of colors listed above with added turquoise to frame the figures.
