A circle of 6 boys are holding hands in a horizontal line. The boy second from the right is pulling back on the boy to his right's arm. A red house and trees are visible behind the boys. The sky above is blue with white clouds. A field with grass and flowers fills the foreground. A fallen tree branch with leaves is on the ground.
