This watercolour painting depicts a street scene in front of a large building with a tall tower and dome. The building is striped with red and white, and the tower has a smaller dome on top. The street is lined with people in robes, some sitting on the ground, and buildings on either side. In the foreground, a few people are gathered near the entrance to the building. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the architecture and the people. The use of watercolour gives the painting a soft, dreamy quality. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
