The image depicts a woman standing on a street, viewed from the back. The woman has curly hair and wears a large hat and long dress in a dark reddish-brown color. She appears to be standing in a street with a horse-drawn cart behind her on the left; the horse is on the right. The background shows a cityscape with buildings against a yellowish-brown sky. The image has a black border around it. The color palette includes shades of brown, black, and reddish tones. The image appears to be a print or lithograph. The overall scene depicts a woman interacting with a street scene or a market. The artist's style suggests a late 19th or early 20th-century work. The woman's clothing and hairstyle are consistent with the Edwardian era. The artwork appears to represent a scene of everyday life.
