An outdoor scene in Lokoja, Nigeria, depicts a bustling street environment under clear, bright daylight. In the immediate foreground, a woman, facing slightly left of center and positioned largely from the waist up, dominates the frame. She wears a dark blue long-sleeved garment and a patterned, earth-toned brown hijab or shawl draped over her head and shoulders, extending down her front. Dark-framed sunglasses cover her eyes, and her head is tilted downward. She carries a light brown/gold shopping bag with a dark blue upper edge in her left hand, which is not fully visible. Her feet, visible at the bottom right, wear dark, possibly black, flat shoes with a decorative metallic buckle. A shadow is cast beneath her, indicating direct overhead sun. To the immediate left of the woman, a sandy-colored dirt shoulder transitions into an asphalt road. A dark, possibly discarded, object resembling a shoe lies on the dirt near the road's edge. Further down the street on the left, multiple parked cars are visible, and a vendor's cart topped with a white umbrella displaying various goods is set up. Beyond this, a two-story building with a light-colored facade featuring prominent archways is seen, adjacent to a reddish-brown building. Additional pedestrians are visible in the distance on this side of the street. To the right of the woman, a row of market stalls extends into the background. These stalls are covered by makeshift canopies, some with patterned fabric. Merchandise, including clothing items and fabrics, is displayed on elevated wooden structures and hung from poles. The ground in front of these stalls appears to be a mix of dirt and uneven paving. Further down the path on the right, behind the main subject, another individual is partially visible, wearing a patterned shirt and a dark cap, indicating ongoing pedestrian traffic. Overhead utility lines crisscross the upper sky.
