Description

A large crowd of people wrapped in pale hooded cloaks moves across a paved yard, many carrying sacks on their shoulders or heads. A man in a dark suit and hat stands by a tall gate in a white wall, and a handcart with a load stands at the right beside an iron railing. Behind them rise the plain walls of a large building with tall doors and small windows.
