Description

A crowded street fills the frame, with many people in headcloths and hats moving between low stalls piled with vegetables and goods. A tall arched passage leads through the buildings into the distance. On the right, a shop sign with an arrow points along the wall, and shuttered windows and balconies line the street above.
