In the mid-ground, a woman stands upright, facing slightly left, wearing a green long-sleeved top, a long black skirt, and a dark headwrap. She carries a small dark handbag on her right arm. Behind her, another woman is partially visible. Further back in the center, a man in a light-colored tunic and headwrap is kneeling or bending over a substantial mound of red chilies.
