This individual has long, curly hair and a wide-brimmed hat. Surrounding them are onlookers including adults and children, facing inward. The figures are depicted from head to waist, wearing period attire from the 19th century. No specific jewelry or objects held by the onlookers are discernible. In the background, there is text in a classical font style.
