Several large, dark-colored market umbrellas provide shade across the area. In the immediate foreground, on the right, the right arm and upper torso of an individual are visible, clad in an orange-brown garment with intricate patterns on the sleeves.

Adjacent to this, another individual's hands are extended towards the left. To the left foreground, multiple bundles of fresh, broad-leafed green vegetables are displayed on a brown woven mat. A dark sandal is partially visible on the ground below the mat. The midground features a dense array of market goods and individuals. On the ground, large piles of small, red, pointed peppers are scattered. A blue woven plastic basket contains dark-colored, elongated produce. Near this, a black plastic basin holds items wrapped in white cloth. Two yellow plastic buckets and a red plastic bowl contain numerous small, red, round tomatoes. Further back, a low wooden table displays more red tomatoes and a large green leafy vegetable resembling cabbage or lettuce. To the left midground, an individual wearing a light brown or orange traditional tunic and wide trousers is depicted bending forward, with bare feet visible on the ground beside a pile of red produce. Behind them, another person is seated. Towards the right midground, an individual wearing a yellow t-shirt with "BALENCIAGA" branding and purple-patterned trousers stands, holding a black bag. Moving from the background, a young child in a pink, patterned jumpsuit walks left, accompanied by an older individual in a white t-shirt and red shorts, carrying a black shoulder bag. The background shows additional market stalls constructed with various materials, including blue tarpaulins and corrugated metal sheeting. Stacks of plastic household items, such as buckets, are visible within these stalls. Numerous other individuals are present in the background, indicating a busy and active market environment.
