The image depicts a barbershop building with the words "ILLS", "BARBER", and "SHOP" partially visible on its window. A lamppost casts a shadow on the sidewalk and street. The building has horizontal wooden siding and is raised with a small step leading to its entrance. Another building is partly visible in the background. The sky is overcast, and the scene is in black-and-white.
