This is a drawing of a crowded urban scene showing a busy street with multi-story buildings. There are many people gathered in lines, suggesting a procession or public event. The bold lines against a light background create depth and motion in the scene. The buildings are abstracted, and there is a figure on a pedestal or column on the right side, adding monumentality to the scene.
