An open public space dominates the foreground of the image. In that space are several groups of children, particularly at the lower left of the image, a rooster at the lower right, and a water pump at the far side of the square just before the fence. Beyond is a street that recedes into the distance; on either side of the street are picturesque older buildings that face onto the square with banks of windows, overhangs, and steeply pitched rooflines.

Two figures sit on the ground next to a young tree that stands supported by a stake. The figure on the left is a young woman wearing a straw hat and possibly knitting.  The figure to the right is a toddler, who dons a bonnet.  The tree's foliage fills the image at the upper right. A fence in the upper part of the image separates the two figures from buildings in the distance, seen through the tree's branches. Presumably they are in an area adjacent to a residential neighborhood.
