The image depicts an urban street scene, likely in a market area of Colombo, Sri Lanka, such as Pettah Market. In the foreground, two men engage, framed by a building facade featuring a yellow-painted beam or wall segment and blue corrugated metal shutters. On the left, an older man, appearing to be of South Asian ethnicity, sits barefoot on a metallic stool. He has short, graying hair and a dark complexion. He wears a bright yellow short-sleeved t-shirt with a thin dark stripe pattern, and light-colored shorts with a green cloth tucked into the waistband. Spectacles hang from the collar of his shirt. His left arm is raised, hand gripping a vertical metal pole that appears to be part of the street infrastructure. His right leg is bent, with his foot resting on his left thigh. Two black slide sandals are on the uneven concrete ground near his feet. He is looking towards the right, seemingly at the second man. On the right, a second man, also appearing to be of South Asian ethnicity, stands with his back largely to the viewer, facing the seated man. He wears a light-colored, short-sleeved striped shirt (blue and white vertical stripes), grey tailored trousers, and polished black leather dress shoes with pointed toes. A grey backpack is slung over his shoulders. A gold-toned metallic watch is visible on his left wrist. His right hand is partially visible, slightly open with fingers pointing downwards, as if making a gesture or pointing. The ground is a rough, uneven concrete surface. In the background, beyond the standing man, a street with several indistinct pedestrians and distant buildings is visible under bright daylight. To the far left, behind the seated man, large bags filled with what appear to be red onions are stacked, indicating a wholesale or retail produce environment. A blue hose connected to a water spigot is also visible near the pole.
