The image shows a young girl seated beside a stack of baskets filled with pretzels. She is sitting on the sidewalk next to a large wooden post. The girl has dark hair, is wearing a dark-colored dress, and has a solemn expression on her face. Around her, several baskets and wooden crates are stacked. In the background, there is a small market stall where two men are standing, with one man blurred due to motion. The stall has large blocks or loaves on the table. The setting appears to be an urban area with multi-story buildings visible in the background, and the ground is paved with stone tiles.
