The image depicts an outdoor street market scene in Onitsha, Nigeria, characterized by informal commerce. The ground is unpaved, consisting of reddish-brown earth. In the mid-ground, a female vendor is seated on a purple plastic chair, wearing a patterned sleeveless dress. She holds a woven fan or basket and appears to be tending to a makeshift grilling station in front of her. This station consists of a metal grate positioned over a charcoal burner, supported by a wrapped cylindrical base. Several ears of corn, some appearing roasted and skewered, are visible on the grill. Discarded corn husks are scattered across the ground directly in front of her stall, along with a pair of black sandals. To her right, a pile of raw corn is present on a wooden market table. To the vendor's immediate left, a male is seated on a low wooden bench, wearing a patterned long-sleeved shirt and dark trousers. He faces and interacts with another male standing opposite him. This second male, wearing a blue and white long-sleeved top and patterned shorts, holds a small dark bag. In the far right foreground, a female is seen from the back, wearing a red short-sleeved top and light-colored shorts, standing near the vendor's setup. In the left background, another female in a black t-shirt and red skirt stands, holding what appears to be currency, with a small child in white partially visible behind her. A large, striped market umbrella (blue and orange sections) provides shade over the central figures. Multi-story buildings, some with laundry visible, and other market structures form the background. Black plastic bags are also visible near the vendor's feet, and the overall scene indicates active street vending.
