The image captures an outdoor market scene in Buzove, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The central figure is a dark-skinned female, positioned facing slightly right, wearing a red short-sleeved top with ruffled and beaded embellishments, dark long trousers or a skirt, and light-colored flip-flops. Her left hand grasps a large, multi-colored striped woven bag (white, green, pink, blue, beige). Her right hand is lowered towards a series of large, open, colorful plastic basins (orange, green, blue) arranged on the unpaved ground to her right, each filled with dry granular goods resembling grains or seeds. A small white and yellow container rests within one orange basin. In the midground, other market activities are visible. To the left of the main subject, another female vendor, seen from behind, wears a green patterned skirt and stands behind a stall displaying produce, including red items resembling tomatoes. Further left, a third female in a light blue top and patterned skirt is partially visible. The background consists of rudimentary market stalls with wooden frames and corrugated metal roofs or walls, and large white and red umbrellas providing shade over various merchandise. The ground is unpaved, appearing as compacted earth with scattered debris and areas of dampness. Numerous other individuals are present in the blurred background, indicating a busy public space.
