An outdoor market scene in Communauté rurale de Payar, Senegal, depicts a woman and a child seated on the dusty ground in the foreground. The adult female, wearing a yellow headscarf over a light blue under-scarf and a patterned dress, sits with her bare legs extended, holding papers or money in her hands. She looks directly towards the viewer. Beside her, a young child, dressed in a dark blue hooded garment over a green under-scarf and orange trousers, sits cross-legged, holding a white plate containing a light-colored meal with green components, which they are eating with a white spoon. Around the woman, various market goods are displayed on the ground and in containers. To her left, a large, dark green bowl is filled with a pale granular substance, likely rice. Adjacent to it, a smaller, dark bowl contains a green powdered substance, with a light green scoop resting inside. Above these, a round, woven tray holds numerous small, white, rounded objects, possibly soap or food items. Another bowl, partially visible, contains reddish-orange granules. The ground is light brown, dry, and scattered with small debris, including a crumpled black plastic bag near the woman's feet, another further out, and a red bottle cap. In the background, other individuals are visible, including a person in a patterned top behind the woman, and a small child in a blue outfit seated further back. A yellow and green plastic bag lies on the ground to the right of the primary subjects.
