The image depicts a narrow, covered market alleyway, characteristic of a souk in the medina of Marrakesh, Morocco. Overhead, a slatted wooden roof structure provides partial shade, supported by metal bracing and affixed to light-pink painted building facades. The ground is paved with irregular cobblestones. Numerous textile items, predominantly scarves or throws, are displayed prominently. These hang from horizontal rods extending from the storefronts, exhibiting various patterns including stripes (blue/white, green/white), geometric designs, and solid colors. On the right side of the frame, a closed, corrugated metal roll-down shutter covers a storefront. In the mid-ground, a person wearing a dark jacket is seated on a low wooden stool, facing away from the camera, near a display of merchandise. Further down the alley, beyond this individual, artificial light fixtures illuminate interiors of other shops. In the foreground, a person is captured in motion, visible from the waist down, wearing dark pants and shoes. They are carrying a long, light-colored, thin object diagonally across their body, moving from left to right. A crumpled piece of white paper is visible on the cobblestone ground in the immediate foreground. The overall scene suggests a active, semi-enclosed commercial environment.
