This oil painting depicts a vibrant outdoor social gathering, likely a café or communal space, set within a shaded courtyard in Marrakesh, Morocco. The ground is rendered in warm orange-brown tones. An overhead trellis or pergola, densely covered with green foliage and supported by gnarled brown tree trunks, provides a canopy. To the right, a warm terracotta-colored building or wall features dark, recessed openings. The scene is populated by approximately 20-30 stylized figures, mostly men, dressed in traditional North African robes (djellabas) and head coverings in various colors including white, light blue, red, green, and orange. In the left and central areas, multiple rectangular tables in light blue and green are arranged, each accompanied by small, square light blue stools. Figures are seated at these tables, seemingly engaged in conversation or waiting. One prominent figure in white is seated at a central table. On the right side of the painting, a long, low, light brown wooden-like bench or platform serves as seating for a concentrated group of figures. These individuals are seated closely together, facing inwards or towards the center. In front of this platform, several pairs of light-colored traditional slippers (babouches) are neatly placed on the ground, indicating removed footwear. A figure in a light blue robe stands or sits prominently on this platform, facing the seated group. The overall composition suggests a bustling yet relaxed communal environment.
