A vertically oriented photogravure depicts a high-angle view of numerous figures in dark coats and hats traversing a sunlit plaza. In the foreground, a man and woman with light skin tones walk toward us, followed by a child to our right. Their long shadows stretch across the pale pavement. A tall, leafless tree stands in the middle ground, near a bustling city square. Grainy, high-contrast tones define the dark silhouettes against the pavement.
