An outdoor scene in Okpatu-Ukehe, Nigeria, features a female individual engaged in open-air cooking

An outdoor scene in Okpatu-Ukehe, Nigeria, features a female individual engaged in open-air cooking. The woman, with dark skin and a bright smile, wears a pink satin bonnet and a short-sleeved, collared shirt and shorts set patterned with multi-colored abstract shapes. She is seated on a plain wooden bench, stirring a red stew-like substance within a large, dark metal pot positioned over an open wood fire. Smoke is visible rising from the fire. The ground consists of reddish-brown bare earth. To the left of the fire, various cooking implements are visible, including a smaller open pot, a lidded pot, a dark wooden mortar, and a dark metal kettle. Behind the cooking area, a low, weathered cinder block wall separates the foreground from a lighter-colored building featuring two white-framed windows. Two large, spherical clay pots are situated against this wall; the left pot has thorny material on its top, while the right pot contains a light-colored funnel-like object. A blue plastic barrel is partially visible on the far right. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight, casting clear shadows.
