This oil painting depicts a dynamic group of seven adult females, ostensibly within the city of Ikate, Nigeria, arranged in a walking formation. Each individual has dark skin with artistic highlights in green and yellow tones on their faces, and is adorned with a large, intricately tied grey headwrap (gele). They wear long-sleeved white blouses and knee-length blue skirts. Footwear comprises simple white flat sandals or slippers. Several women wear golden hoop earrings, and one on the far left has a golden bangle on her wrist. In the mid-ground, a woman positioned slightly right of center holds a small, light-colored rectangular object in her right hand while making a gesture with her left, appearing to communicate with the woman immediately to her right. Another woman, positioned to the far left, looks downward. The figures are closely spaced, implying a procession or close-knit group. The environment consists of a textured, light blue-grey background and a light grey ground plane, suggesting an open, undefined setting. Visible brushstrokes are present throughout the composition. A signature and the year "2010" are located in the lower right corner.
