The scene depicts an outdoor market area in Gundigan Village, Afghanistan. An elderly male, with a long white beard and a dark turban, is seated on a yellow plastic stool slightly right of center. He wears a dark brown jacket over dark clothing and is holding a glass of light brown liquid in his right hand, which he appears to be drinking. He is smiling and looking towards the left. To the left of the seated man, a substantial pile of red onions, individually packaged in red mesh bags with red tie-strings, rests on a paved surface. Behind these onions, several clear plastic bags filled with potatoes are stacked. Directly in front of the man, on the ground, a silver-colored electric kettle or thermos with a black lid and a smaller glass containing the same light brown liquid are visible. In the background, to the left, a wooden cart with spoked wheels serves as a vendor stall, displaying various fruits and vegetables including red apples, green grapes, tomatoes, and a head of cauliflower. To the right, behind the seated man, another stall features numerous large, light brown, round gourds or pumpkins piled on a table covered with dark fabric. A yellow plastic container is visible on the ground near this stall. The ground surface transitions from a paved area on the left to an uneven mix of dirt, gravel, and scattered debris on the right. Strong natural sunlight is evident, casting distinct shadows. In the far background, a blue metal fence or railing and light-colored buildings are partially visible. A person wearing a dark abaya or similar garment is partially visible on the far left edge of the frame. Dark fabric awnings provide shade for the market stalls.
