A group of women and a man are situated on a street corner, surrounded by baskets and crates filled with fresh produce, such as tomatoes, onions, beans, and herbs. They are sitting on the pavement with colorful woven textiles on display for sale. The women wear traditional patterned clothing, and one of them is wearing a mask. The background features worn-out blue and purple walls, with a set of steps leading to a closed door.
