The colors used are muted, with shades of brown, gray, and blue dominating the palette. In the foreground, a few individuals can be seen standing or walking along the street. Some are dressed in formal attire, while others appear to be in more casual clothing. The cars are old-fashioned, with rounded shapes and visible headlights.
