About the work

View of an indoor market. Several textiles are hanging from a clothesline that runs across the upper portion of the image. The two central textiles are printed with an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Behind the hanging textiles, on the wall at the back of the market hall, the word "Miscelanea" is painted on the wall. There is a table in the foreground with various wares on it that is slightly out of focus.
