The painting depicts a scene of a street with a storefront, featuring a red and white striped awning. The storefront is flanked by two other buildings, one with a large window and the other with a sign that reads "EXPRESO VILLALONGA". The street is made of brick and is populated by people walking in various directions, including a man leading a horse. In the foreground, a man in a suit walks towards the storefront, while a woman in a long dress stands outside the adjacent building. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of everyday life, with people going about their daily business. The painting's use of tempera on cardboard gives it a unique texture and feel.
