The image depicts a black-and-white photograph of a courtyard scene. The courtyard contains a group of people, mostly women wearing long dresses and head coverings. They are gathered around the open area and near buildings in the background. Some individuals are sitting on the ground, while others are standing or walking. One woman is holding a basket. There are baskets and boxes on the ground. The background features two-story buildings with stone walls, multiple windows, and a tiled roof. Staircases lead up to doors on both levels of the building. The overall atmosphere appears to be a daily or occupational scene. The image is titled "Camera Work: Newhaven Fisheries" and attributed to David Octavius Hill.
