This image depicts an outdoor market scene in Kandahar, Afghanistan, under an overcast sky. In the foreground, two women stand facing right towards an informal stall. The woman on the left wears a dark gray abaya, a black niqab concealing her face except for her eyes, and a black headscarf. She carries a brown, suede-like shoulder bag with a gray pom-pom charm and wears white sneakers with red scalloped trim. The woman in the center wears a light brown abaya, a black headscarf, and a bright magenta shawl draped over her shoulders. Her face is obscured as she is turned partially away, holding a rolled or folded light pink item, possibly a blanket, in her right hand. A third female figure, mostly obscured by the central woman, is visible further back, also facing right. The market stall consists of a makeshift structure with a light-colored, torn fabric canopy stretched over wooden poles. Other wooden poles serve to display merchandise. Hanging from these poles are an orange patterned textile, a bright red textile, and a purple jacket. To the right, two tall stacks of folded textiles, appearing to be blankets, quilts, or fabric goods in various colors and patterns, are displayed on a low platform. Behind the figures, a large, dark gray bundled object rests on the ground. The background features a dilapidated building with a damaged, corrugated metal roof showing multiple perforations or impact marks. Below the roof, an unfinished or mud-brick wall, exhibiting cracks and wear, forms the backdrop. Some green, slender foliage is visible to the far right. The ground is a light gray concrete or asphalt surface.
