An outdoor scene in Bazar-e Panjva'i, Afghanistan, depicts a large, semi-open structure used for drying grapes. A single male subject, appearing to be elderly with a long gray beard and gray hair, stands slightly right of center, his gaze directed downwards. He wears a light brown or tan long-sleeved garment and a patterned cap with maroon, black, and white embroidery. The structure consists of numerous rough-hewn wooden poles supporting horizontal wooden racks from which thousands of clusters of light green grapes are suspended in multiple tiers for air-drying. The roof of the structure is formed by a dense layer of woven dry brushwood or reeds, casting dappled sunlight and shadows across the scene. The ground is visible as light brown earth. In the background, reddish earth or hills are discernible, and to the far right, dark plastic crates are visible near the drying racks.
