A daylight street-level photograph depicts an active outdoor book market located in the Pasaje de San Ginés, Madrid, Spain. Seven individuals are visible, predominantly engaged in browsing books. In the left foreground, an elderly woman with gray hair, wearing a dark blue quilted jacket and a multi-colored floral skirt, bends over a wooden trestle table displaying numerous paperbacks and magazines. Adjacent to her, in the left background, two men stand near the entrance of a shop identified as "LIBRERIA SAN GINES"; one man with a backpack looks down at books, while another bearded man in a light shirt stands near the shop's doorway. In the right middle ground, a bearded man in a dark blue shirt stands behind a bookstall, holding a book. Directly to his right, a woman with long brown hair, dressed in a light-colored jacket and beige trousers, holds and examines a large print or book. Two additional figures are partially visible behind her, interacting with books on recessed shelves within the adjacent shopfront. The scene features multiple wooden tables laden with books, periodicals, and prints set upon a grey cobblestone pavement. The bookstalls are positioned in front of dark wooden shopfronts with tiled roofs, which house extensive collections of books, including vintage leather-bound volumes. The surrounding buildings exhibit aged stone and brick construction, with barred windows and an ornate black metal street lamp affixed to the wall on the right.
