The image shows a busy urban scene viewed from street level, including people and horses. The horizon is not distinct due to the dense architectural elements and figures. On the right, people are seen sitting on steps, with two individuals holding an umbrella. The brushstrokes are dynamic, capturing movement, and the color palette mainly consists of sepia and beige. In the distance, intricate buildings and a staircase can be seen blending into the background with the same hurried linework.
