A view of a date market stall with women packing dates into boxes marked 'Finest Fard Dates / Arabia'. To the right of the date packing is a carved trestle table with books and papers on it. Sitting behind is a man wearing a fez and in a white shirt and jacket. He is attended by a young black boy holding a shallow saucer. Another man sits by the table facing the camera in a light western-style suit reading paperwork.
