The woman at center is wearing a sun hat and a large apron. The woman at right is wearing a sweater and a small scarf tied around her neck. The little boy is wearing a sweatshirt. A vendor stall is behind the two women, and the stall is advertising lettuce. A man with glasses and a mustache is standing behind the stall's counter. The two women are looking at each other.
