bustling market scene at the muddy edge of a river in what appears to be an African country

bustling market scene at the muddy edge of a river in what appears to be an African country. Numerous people are visible, mostly women dressed in colorful, traditional clothing, navigating through the muddy terrain near a riverbank filled with boats. Several of the people are engaged in what seems to be a fish market. One woman is seen leaning over a blue tarp, inspecting and sorting through a collection of fish. Nearby, a man carries a tray of what appears to be food items on his head, while holding a striped bag. Other people mill around, some carrying goods, possibly for sale or personal use. The ground is covered in mud and scattered debris, indicating heavy foot traffic and likely contributing to the market's lively atmosphere. The background reveals a wider view of the river, with multiple boats anchored and people embarking and disembarking, which further supports the impression of a market day centered on river trade or fishing. The sky is overcast, suggesting a cloudy day, and in the distance, some vegetation and structures are visible on the opposite river bank.
