Description

A black open touring car with a folded hood stands in a dusty street outside a plastered building with an ornamented doorway and shuttered windows. About eight men in hats, flat caps and long coats stand around it, talking, and a boy in a light jumper stands by the open doorway. Strong sunlight casts sharp shadows across the ground.
