A horizontally oriented watercolor and gouache painting depicts seven people with medium-dark skin tones clustered before a weathered, beige building. To the left, a figure sits on a red rug. Centrally, five figures wearing long, hooded robes in cream and brown gather near a shop with dark wooden lattices. To the right, a slender tree with golden-brown leaves stands against a blue sky. The composition emphasizes textured surfaces and earthy tones.
