The image depicts a black and white sketch of a street scene. A building with a flat roof and a storefront with large windows is in the background. The storefront has a display window on the right and a doorway on the left. A woman stands on the steps leading to the doorway. Several people are on the sidewalk in front of the building. A woman and child are on the right, and a child stands alone on the left. The people are dressed in clothing typical of the late 19th or early 20th century. The title "Chelsea Rags" and the artist "James McNeill Whistler" are associated with the image.
