This is a painting of a street scene with food vendors and historic buildings. The scene shows a busy urban street with two street vendors in the foreground, each with a cart; one is selling "Sandwiches, Lemonade, Ice Cream" and the other is offering "Oranges." The background features a row of red-brick buildings with flags and Victorian-style advertisements. People are walking and riding in horse-drawn carriages nearby. A tree with sparse foliage is on the right. The painting is in the style of James Whistler, showcasing a late 19th to early 20th-century view of urban life and architectural detailing.
