Two horses are harnessed to the cart; they are walking to the right. Two people in uniform are on the cart; one is sitting and one is standing. The cart appears to be carrying more people. There are trees and bushes on both sides of the path. The sky is cloudy and bright. The image is framed with a thin off-white border. The image contains German text at the bottom.
