This image depicts an active, open-air grape processing or market scene within Bazar-e Panjva'i, Afghanistan. The environment is characterized by a large, temporary canopy constructed from woven natural material (possibly matting) draped over a framework of rough wooden poles and branches, providing shade. Abundant quantities of green grapes, likely a light-colored varietal, are the primary subject. Large piles of loose grapes cover the ground where individuals are working, and dense clusters of grapes are seen hanging from elevated wooden trellises supported by the structure. Approximately 15-20 adult males are visible. In the immediate foreground, slightly left of center, a man stands facing forward, wearing a dark, long-sleeved tunic (Perahan Tumban) and a light-colored, embroidered skullcap. He has a dark beard and mustache, and his gaze is directed downwards. His clothing appears dusted with white residue. In the midground and background, numerous other men are seated or kneeling directly on the piles of grapes. They are actively engaged in sorting and packing grapes into white and blue plastic crates, which are scattered throughout the area. Their attire includes various traditional garments, turbans, and caps. Wooden ladders are visible, leaning against the grape-laden wooden trellises. The scene is illuminated by natural light filtering through the permeable canopy, casting dappled shadows.
