This is a drawing of a market scene. The artwork depicts a bustling market environment in black and white using a linocut technique. Various stalls are shown against a backdrop of covered structures. In the foreground, there are figures engaged in activities such as negotiating or discussing goods. Textured patterns add detail to the clothing and objects, including a hanging scale, bags filled with produce, and a table with merchandise. The style blends realism and abstraction to capture both the physical aspects and the busy atmosphere of a market setting.
