The image shows three individuals seated closely together on the roof of an omnibus during a heavy rainstorm. They are all visible from head to toe, facing the viewer with a side profile. The person on the left is hunched forward, holding an umbrella. The central figure sits upright, wearing a tall top hat that covers most of their facial features. The person on the right, also in a top hat, appears to have sharp facial features and is slightly hunched forward, possibly knitting, with their head bent downward. All three individuals are wearing long coats. Rain is depicted in thick diagonal lines, emphasizing the downpour. The background is filled with more lines, suggesting the intensity of the rain, with no distinguishable landmarks visible.
