Genre/Subject Matter:

In the middle-ground two adults, a dog and a group of children stand beside houses that extend from left to centre. A further dog and woman are visible in the background at right. The buildings at left are brick two-storeyed structures with wooden mashrabiyyas projecting towards the open area at right and in the foreground.
