The image captures an outdoor market scene in Onitsha, Nigeria. In the foreground, a woman wears a large, wide-brimmed straw hat that obscures her face, a light blue short-sleeved top, and a pink skirt. She holds a small, transparent plastic bag containing several red onions in her right hand. She stands beside a metal pushcart laden with red onions; some are loose, while many are pre-packaged in clear plastic bags and stacked. The front of the pushcart is covered with a coarse brown burlap fabric. In the mid-ground, to the left of the onion seller, another woman dressed in a black long-sleeved top and black shorts is bent over, attending to various items arranged on the unpaved ground. She is barefoot. Directly behind the main subject, a white van, with "L300" visible on its front panel near the headlight, is parked. Partially visible behind the bending woman and near the van is a person wearing a light blue t-shirt and dark trousers with white stripes. The ground is composed of packed dirt or gravel, scattered with reddish-brown debris consistent with onion skins. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
