In the shade of a large bouquet of arums and anthuriums that cover the upper left-hand corner of the canvas, three women sitting at the foot of a fruit stall occupy the entire foreground. Two children, one of whom is breast-feeding, complete the female group.

In the distance, on the upper right, the silhouette of an ochre church in front of a mountain creates a beautiful perspective.

This beautiful painting illustrates the grammar of Lacazian’s vision of Central American markets, where pastel-coloured geometric shapes surround gigantic flowers amidst silhouettes of Indian women with dark braids and colourful clothes, lined up from different angles.

The flowers and women, symbols of life, painted in the basic colours so dear to the artist’s brush, irradiate our eye in shaded and luminous passages.
