The scene depicts an outdoor urban environment in Zaria, Nigeria, under bright daylight. In the foreground, a man of African descent is seated on a concrete curb, wearing a light blue long-sleeved shirt and black trousers with blue and light blue athletic shoes. He is leaning forward with his head down, appearing to be in distress, resting, or pensive, with his hands clasped between his knees. A small, dark brown, ornate pot or container rests on the ground near his feet. Behind him, a second man, also of African descent, stands over him. This man is dressed in a brown long-sleeved traditional garment with light-colored trim and a black shoulder bag with a small pouch. He is looking down towards the seated man. In the midground, a yellow three-wheeled auto-rickshaw (keke Napep) with black seats is parked. Inside the auto-rickshaw, a third man in a blue traditional garment is visible, looking towards the left. Behind the vehicle, a fourth person in a light pink traditional garment is partially visible. Further to the left, a fifth individual in a yellow shirt and a red cap is partially visible behind the brown-clad man. The ground surface is a mix of dry earth and scattered debris, including dry leaves and pieces of black plastic. A blue barrel or container is visible to the left behind the standing man. The overall setting is consistent with a bustling street or market area.
