This painting depicts a city street with several buildings and cars. The street is wet, suggesting it has recently rained. The sky above is gray and cloudy. In the foreground, there are several cars driving down the street, and people are walking on the sidewalk. The buildings on either side of the street are tall and have multiple stories. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of a busy city street on a rainy day. The use of gray and cloudy colors gives the painting a somber mood.
