The image shows a group of people standing outside, with only their upper bodies and heads visible. In the foreground on the right, there is an older man standing in a slightly angled position towards the left of the image. He has a cigarette dangling from his mouth, wears glasses, and has thinning hair. He is dressed in a dark suit with a striped tie, and a white carnation pinned to his jacket lapel. His hand is partially visible, holding something. Next to him, there is a younger woman standing in profile to the camera, only her side visible. She has curly dark hair, and is wearing a wool coat. Behind and around them, several other people stand closely together, some in coats and hats. There is a cigarette stand next to the man and behind this group, the setting appears to be an urban street scene with a building under construction and a parked car visible through the window glass.
