The image shows a group of people gathered around a carriage. One person is atop the carriage, leaning down towards the group below. Some individuals in the group are facing the person on the carriage, with a few gesturing upward. The people have distinct facial features outlined in a sketch style and are wearing hats and bonnets typical of an earlier era. Their clothing includes long dresses, fitted coats, trousers, and period attire for a child. One woman holds a box, while another holds a bunch of herbs or flowers. The background is simple, emphasizing the figures and the carriage in the lightly shaded sketch.
