The scene depicts an outdoor fish preparation or market area in Lhokseumawe, Indonesia. Six marine fish, consistent with tuna or mackerel species, are displayed on a light blue-green plastic sheet or tarp. The sheet is visibly wet and features reddish-brown stains, likely from blood or fish fluids. Five of the fish are intact, arranged in a diagonal line across the upper right section of the sheet, exhibiting dark dorsal surfaces and lighter ventral sides, with some displaying faint horizontal stripes. One fish, positioned in the lower left, has been longitudinally split open, exposing its internal cavity, backbone, and reddish-brown flesh. In the upper right background, the lower legs and bare feet of an individual wearing dark trousers are partially visible, indicating a person is standing nearby. The ground beyond the sheet appears to be sandy or dirt.
