View of an urban street. On the left is a stone building inscribed "SYNDICAT de la MEUNERIE / [de] LA REGION DE PARIS". A man stands in the doorway. Outside the building is a newsstand bearing advertisements. Adjacent to the building is the Medici Column. Two horses-and-carts stand in the street next to the column. Apartment buildings, with businesses on the ground floor, are visible further down the street. A street sign that reads "RUE SAUVAL" is affixed to a stone building at the street corner.
