A horizontally oriented pencil drawing on tan paper depicts a street scene in loose, sketchy lines. Centered, a figure from behind wears a long, patterned cloak. To the left, a figure with a light skin tone holds a baby while another wears a wide-brimmed hat. Dense pencil hatching creates a dark doorway in the middle ground. On the right, clothes hang from a stall while a child in a hat walks away from us.
