Description

A wooden cart stands in a dusty street, with a girl in a headscarf seated on top and a dark animal partly hidden behind it. A man in a striped shirt crouches beside it, pouring from a glass demijohn in a wicker casing through a funnel, while a boy in a jacket looks on. Two men in long light coats stand at either side, one holding a bottle and the other holding a pipe and a bottle.

A dirt road runs past a low fence and trees. A child in a headscarf sits on a high-sided wooden cart, and a man in a striped shirt and dark wide trousers crouches beside it, pouring from a metal jug through a funnel into a wicker-covered demijohn. A boy in a jacket watches, while two men in long light coats stand at left and right, each holding a bottle.
