A horizontally oriented etching in dense cross-hatched black ink depicts a crowded street scene with people of medium-dark skin tones. On the left, a woman gestures with raised arms toward a figure in a patterned hat. To the right, a man in a hat and striped shirt stands with his back toward us. Behind them, storefronts feature striped awnings and signs, including "FRESH MEAT CHEAP" and "FRITZ CHARLIE 1966."
