A bustling street market scene in Onitsha, Nigeria, captures a transactional interaction between two women. In the foreground, a dark-skinned woman wearing a pink t-shirt with a blue graphic depicting two white cranes/herons in flight and black pants stands over a metal wheelbarrow filled with green cucumbers. She wears a black cross-body strap over her left shoulder. Her right hand rests on the stack of cucumbers, appearing to arrange or present them. Her facial expression is focused. To her right and slightly lower, another dark-skinned woman sits or squats, facing left in profile. She wears a light-colored, possibly beige, sleeveless top. A baby, with a visible head and light-colored hair, is secured to her back with a patterned blue and orange fabric wrapper. Her left arm rests on the edge of the cucumber-laden wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow, constructed of dark metal, holds a large quantity of fresh, green cucumbers, piled high. A smaller cluster of cucumbers and a green plastic bottle are visible deeper within the wheelbarrow. In the mid-ground, a yellow motorized tricycle, commonly known as a Keke Napep, is parked. People are visible inside and around it, including one individual in a striped shirt. Beyond the tricycle, a multi-story building with white exterior walls and numerous windows dominates the background. Other individuals, primarily men in casual attire, are scattered throughout the background, indicating a busy urban environment with additional market stalls, including one displaying clothing on hangers to the right. The ground appears to be a paved surface. The lighting suggests daytime.
