An outdoor market scene in Koḵrān, Afghanistan, is depicted under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a young boy, approximately 8-12 years old, stands slightly right of center, looking directly at the camera with his mouth slightly ajar. He wears a dark puffy jacket over a checkered shirt, with his right hand near his chest. Directly in front of him is a grey metal wheelbarrow containing two piles of fresh green leafy vegetables, resting on wooden supports. Behind the boy, a two-wheeled pushcart with a wooden frame and red fabric side coverings holds a large display of produce, including piles of orange carrots, dark purple eggplants, and red tomatoes. An adult male, wearing a light green traditional tunic and a dark cap, stands behind this red cart, facing left. To the far left, another two-wheeled cart with a light-colored canopy displays a large mound of potatoes. An adult male, dressed in a brown jacket and dark pants, stands by this cart, looking left. The ground is unpaved, appearing wet and muddy in several areas, with reflections of the sky and objects. Shadows are cast on the ground, indicating direct sunlight. In the mid-ground, two streetlights with modern rectangular LED fixtures are visible against the sky. The background features a light-colored metal fence, distant buildings, and undulating hilly or mountainous terrain. Additional figures are vaguely visible in the far background near the fence.
