The scene is set outdoors in Sabon Gari West, Nigeria. A person with dark skin, wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and black track pants with grey side stripes, is seated and holding a silver, oval-shaped metal tray. The tray contains a quantity of light brown beans, characterized by a dark "eye" mark, distributed unevenly in two main piles and several scattered individual pieces. The individual's hands firmly grip the tray. To the right, a second person, partially visible, wears a blue patterned garment, and a green plastic basket filled with more of the same beans is situated next to them. The background features a light brown-grey, textured concrete or mud wall, above which a corrugated metal roof is visible, displaying draped laundry. The ground in the immediate foreground is dark and covered with scattered light-colored debris, possibly bean husks. Natural daylight illuminates the scene.
