The scene depicts an outdoor market in Gundigan Village, Afghanistan, under clear, bright daylight. In the foreground-right, an elderly man with a long white beard, wearing a black turban and a dark suit jacket, is seated on a yellow plastic stool, shielding his eyes with his right hand while looking towards the left. A silver thermal carafe with a black lid and handle, adorned with a floral design, is positioned on the ground in the foreground-left, casting a shadow. A small glass containing an amber liquid is visible behind it. To the left of the image, a substantial quantity of red onions, individually bagged in red mesh nets, are stacked high on what appears to be a grey cart or trolley. Partially obscured by the onions on the far-left, a younger male figure in a light blue garment stands upright. In the mid-ground-right, behind the seated man, a market stall displays numerous large, light-colored gourds or squashes. Stacked white cardboard boxes and a yellow plastic jerrycan are visible beneath the stall. The background features various single and two-story buildings, some appearing constructed from concrete or mud-brick, along with utility poles and overhead lines. The ground surface is an uneven mix of dirt, gravel, and rough pavement, illuminated by strong sunlight which casts distinct shadows.
