The scene is viewed from street level with a cobbled path leading into an urban alley. Buildings tightly pack the area, creating a ceiling along with various rooftops. A bare tree arches across the middle of the image, against the sky. The horizon is where the building facades meet the sky. Intricate cross-hatching and line work bring depth and texture. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of black and off-white, giving a historical feel. A young girl walks carrying something in her hand, wrapped in a cloak. Objects hang on walls and shelves with ceramics are visible. Another figure is seen in the entrance of a building.
