Steve McCurry, Photographer, New York

Description

This documentary portrait by photographer Steve McCurry captures several children seated at dark wooden desks inside a classroom. The prominent young boy in the immediate foreground leans forward attentively with wide eyes, wearing a buttoned shirt. Several other children are seated at desks extending into the background, with one child resting their head down and another standing slightly. The interior walls feature a rough, uneven texture painted in a vivid shade of green. Natural light illuminates the interior space, casting soft shadows across the faces and clothing of the subjects.
