The scene depicts an outdoor or semi-outdoor market stall at night in Samaru, Nigeria, illuminated by artificial blue lighting. Two individuals are present. An adult female stands in the mid-ground, viewed from the right side in profile. She has dark hair pulled into a ponytail and wears gold hoop earrings. She is dressed in a dark blue, long-sleeved garment, possibly a kaftan or abaya, featuring light-colored embellishments or embroidery on the chest area and a gold-patterned cuff on her lower left sleeve. Her gaze is directed to the right of the frame. In the foreground, a young female child is seated, also viewed from the right side in profile. Her hair is styled in tight cornrows, and she wears a colorful, long-sleeved top with a red, orange, black, and white pattern. Her hands are positioned in front of her, appearing to hold an object, possibly wrapped in foil. She is seated on a light-colored object, potentially a low stool. The immediate environment includes multiple clothing items on display, some hanging on metal racks. Patterns visible on the garments include leopard print and ornate gold designs on a blue background. One metal rack on the right contains numerous empty plastic hangers, some with bright green or yellow clips. A clear plastic container with a lid is visible on the artificial green turf-like ground near the seated child. Light-colored, irregular stone-like objects are in the background behind the child.
