The image depicts two black and white sketches. The top sketch shows a street scene with people sitting and standing outside buildings. A woman in a headscarf and long dress stands to the left of center, and a man sits on the ground to her right. The bottom sketch shows a similar scene, but with a few people standing around a box or crate. The top sketch features several people, including a woman standing in the center wearing a headscarf and a long dress, and a man sitting on the ground to her right. The background of the top sketch includes buildings and what appears to be a courtyard or alleyway. The bottom sketch is less detailed, but shows a few people standing around a box or crate, with buildings in the background. The sketches are attributed to Auguste Brouet, and titled "On the Fortifications at Saint-Ouen".
