A view of a Mexican market with a large bouquet of strelitzias with orange flowers and tough leaves standing out against a deep blue sky in the foreground. Two Indian women’s heads with black braids, one from behind and one in profile, complete the foreground at the bottom of the work. The eye moves up to the right to passers-by strolling through the market under an orange-pink triangular canvas. Yellow lilies, tomato and garlic stalls link the figures.

The two interlocking arcs of flamboyant flowers and people convey the balance of an Indian world felt by the artist to be in symbiosis with nature, as stable and enduring as the small maternity sketched among the passers-by.
