The scene depicts an unpaved outdoor area in Idiroko, Nigeria, under an overcast sky. In the foreground, a young woman, appearing to be of African descent, walks from left to right in profile. She wears a red short-sleeved shirt with a ruffled hem, black skinny jeans, and brown leather flip-flops. A light-colored cloth is wrapped around her head, and she balances a light-colored, possibly metal, shallow basin or tray containing indistinct items on her head. Her arms swing naturally with her stride. To the left, a weathered, light brown building wall with visible text or graffiti leans against a corrugated metal panel. A wooden plank stands vertically against this wall. Near the base of the wall, a white sack and debris are visible on the dirt ground. In the background to the right, a large, worn, quilted mattress is propped or hung against a dark, possibly block, wall. An additional piece of fabric is draped over the top right corner of the mattress. Behind these structures, dense green foliage and trees are visible. A small child's head is partially visible above a distant structure, to the left of the prominent tree. On the far right, a blue plastic bucket rests on the ground. The ground throughout the image is composed of reddish-brown dirt or sand.
