An outdoor scene in a residential area of Lagos, Nigeria, depicts four individuals engaged in or observing a communal cooking activity. Centrally, a large, dark, ribbed metal pot sits on a metal stand over an active open wood fire, with visible flames and embers. A woman on the right, wearing a blue knit cap, a black t-shirt with a blue and white goat silhouette design, and light brown pants, is actively stirring the pot with a long wooden implement. To her left, another woman, viewed from behind, wearing a black t-shirt and dark blue skirt, holds a similar wooden pestle vertically, poised near the pot. Further left, a young woman with braided hair, clad in a striped grey t-shirt and dark shorts, stands with her hands on her hips, observing. A fourth individual, mostly obscured, in a green shirt and brown pants, stands behind the stirring woman. The ground is reddish-brown earth with scattered white debris. In the mid-background, two goats, one dark brown and one white, stand unfettered. The background features a weathered grey concrete block wall with sparse vegetation and a piece of corrugated metal sheeting. The activity is consistent with traditional outdoor food preparation.
