The image depicts a large crowd of people, with each person shown from the shoulders up. The individuals have varying facial features, with men generally sporting facial hair and most wearing top hats or other headwear, while women wear their hair up and are adorned with hats. The clothing appears formal and includes suits and shawls typical of the era. Among the crowd, a man holds a cane. The background is filled with more onlookers, creating a dense crowd scene, and in the distant background, trees and fireworks light up the night sky.
