The image shows three adults standing in a city street scene. A man in a brown coat and dark hat stands on the left, holding a basket of oranges. To his right, a woman in a light-colored dress and white shawl holds a few oranges while looking at the man. Behind her, another woman in a dark outfit with a shawl and bonnet looks at the man. In the background, there are stone arches and faded figures, suggesting an urban setting. Another basket of oranges is on the ground nearby.
