The image is an etching of a bustling scene in a courtyard or public square. The viewpoint is from a shaded, arching area with foliage. The scene includes flat-roofed buildings, suggesting a town square or market. Detailed brushwork creates depth and texture. The color palette is sepia and black, giving an antiquated feel. Closest to us are two figures in robes framing the active scene in the distance, where several figures are present.
