Description

A boy with short dark hair lies asleep on a white pillow under a light sheet, his eyes closed and mouth slightly open. One of his bare arms is stretched up and out to the right, and crumpled white cloth lies on the bed behind him. The photograph is taken close, from above, so the bedding fills most of the frame.
