The scene depicts an exterior architectural space characteristic of the historic city of Arequipa, Peru, featuring structures constructed from light-colored sillar stone. The foreground displays a paved surface composed of large light and dark checkered flagstones, ascending to a raised area via stone steps. A central archway, supported by stone columns, frames a view into a further courtyard where additional archways and stone structures are visible. A single adult female is depicted from the rear, walking through this central archway, moving away from the viewer. She is dressed in dark pants, a dark top, and a light-colored baseball cap, with long light brown hair visible. She carries a white bag over her left shoulder. The left periphery of the frame shows a partial view of a second individual, with a dark sleeve and a portion of a shoe visible. Two terracotta pots are present: one in the lower-left foreground containing green foliage, and a second in the mid-ground on a metal stand, holding a plant with green leaves and a single red flower. To the right, a multi-tiered stone structure with carved elements is visible. The scene is brightly illuminated by natural sunlight, casting distinct shadows.
