The scene depicts an outdoor grape drying operation in Bazar-e Panjva'i, Afghanistan. A male individual, appearing middle-aged, sits cross-legged and barefoot on a white tarpaulin with blue stripes and red patterns. He wears a light-colored tunic, a dark vest, and a patterned cap, looking directly forward with an open mouth. His hands are clasped in front of him. To his left, a large quantity of light yellow-green grapes is spread across the tarpaulin. To his right, a smaller pile of dark, shriveled grapes and stems is present. The lower leg and yellow fabric of a second individual are partially visible on the far right. In the background, multiple horizontal tiers of wooden drying racks are densely covered with bunches of grapes, ranging in color from green to amber, indicative of various stages of drying. The ground is dry earth, and the scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
