Description

Under a vaulted stone arcade, two seated men work at a table heaped with sacks and small objects, while a third person is partly hidden behind them near the arch. A man in a light shirt stands at right beside a large woven basket. Crates with painted lettering lie in the foreground, and small fragments are scattered on the ground. An open arch and a stone wall appear in the background.
