The scene is an outdoor market in Serris, France, set on a paved surface beneath an overcast sky. A grey mobile market truck, with its side extended and open, serves as the central subject. Inside, two vendors operate behind display cases filled with cheeses, baked goods, and bottles. Five customers, dressed in winter coats, face the vendor display; one stands alone on the left, while four others gather closer to the center-right. A blue and black wheeled shopping trolley is parked on the pavement to the right of the truck. In the background, a multi-story, light-grey modern building features prominent windows and two flags: the blue European Union flag and the French tricolor flag. A surveillance camera is affixed to this building's facade. A dark blue passenger vehicle is partially visible behind the market truck on the far left. A light-colored stone block inscribed with 'MBE PAIX' is visible in the lower-left foreground. Bare tree branches are visible in the mid-ground.
