Street scene. In the foreground, wide with cobblestone pavement in gray tones, intersected by several tram tracks. On the left, in the lower corner, four men with hats, white shirts and dark pants. Two of them hold handcarts to load volumes. Next to these, a sidewalk in perspective, extending close to the street in the background, with houses of various heights on the sides, people and cars. On the right, on the square, horse-drawn carts, circular fountain, lamps and kiosk detail on the right. In the background, a sequence of yellow townhouses, parallel to the width. Near the sidewalk: people, small trees and wheelbarrows. At the top, bluish sky.
Identified as Largo do Depósito, in the neighborhood of Saúde (Rio de Janeiro), in subsequent surveys information emerged that it could be Largo de Santa Rita. Largo do Depósito became Praça dos Estivadores, located at Rua Camerino, in the city center of Rio.
