An outdoor market scene is captured at the Château de Mesnils-sur-Iton, France, under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, numerous potted cacti are displayed on a black fabric covering a surface set on light brown gravel. The cacti include tall columnar varieties in black plastic pots, some with yellow labels, and several paddle cacti (Opuntia species) in black and terracotta pots, some with white or orange labels. Beyond the gravel, a grassy field hosts a market comprised of approximately twenty white canopy tents arranged in rows. Numerous individuals, estimated around 30-40, are observed walking among the stalls, browsing merchandise, and engaging in interactions typical of an outdoor fair. People are dressed in casual attire. On the right, a person walks right-to-left with a small, light brown dog on a leash. Another individual further back appears to be with a dark-colored dog. The background features a dense line of deciduous trees with mostly bare branches, indicating autumn or early winter. To the far right, a round brick tower with a conical roof, characteristic of a château or historical building, is partially visible. The scene is illuminated by natural light, casting soft shadows.
