The building features a large window with the words "VINS FINS & ORDINAIRES" and "LIQUEURS & SPIRITUEUX" painted on the glass, advertising the types of alcohol sold. The window reveals various bottles displayed inside the shop. Next to the door, a bouquet of flowers is hung. The overall setting is urban, with the sidewalk and street visible in the foreground. The photograph is captured in black-and-white, emphasizing the textures and contrasts of the aged wooden panels and stone surface of the building.
