The image depicts a narrow, covered alleyway in the city of Marrakesh, Morocco, characteristic of a souk or medina street. The overhead is covered by a wooden or reed lattice structure, allowing strips of sunlight to filter down, creating a striped light pattern on the ground. The alley is flanked by multi-story buildings with faded reddish-brown or ochre-colored facades. Most visible storefronts feature closed metal roller shutters. The ground is paved with irregular cobblestones or bricks, exhibiting darker patches consistent with moisture. Illumination is provided by both natural light filtering from above and several bare incandescent bulbs suspended along the walls. Three distinct individuals are present. In the midground, to the left, a person wearing a light-colored top and dark trousers is bent over, sweeping or cleaning the cobblestone surface with a long-handled tool. In the center midground, another individual, clad in a long, dark traditional garment (likely a djellaba) and a head covering, stands facing away from the viewer, looking down the alley. This person has an object slung over their left shoulder. Further in the background, near the end of the visible alley, at least two additional figures are discernible, one of whom appears to be standing or walking. Architectural details include an arched doorway or alcove on the left wall closer to the foreground, and exposed electrical conduit or wiring along the building facades. Stacked concrete blocks are visible on the far left in the foreground.
