Description

A cobbled street lined with white plastered buildings, with a wooden balcony with a railing at upper left and an awning over a shop front. About fifteen people in long robes, cloaks and head coverings walk and stand in the street, some in the foreground and others in a crowd further back. A tall tower rises in the background, and a man with a cane stands at right beside a dark doorway.
