The image depicts a street scene in Arequipa, Peru, featuring a gathering of individuals, likely participants in a cultural event or parade. In the foreground, five people are visible, with the primary focus on women in traditional attire. On the far left, a woman is seen from behind, wearing a brown flat-brimmed hat. Her dark hair is styled in braids, adorned with gold-colored floral ornaments. She wears a sheer white overlay garment with green ribbon trim and white floral embroidery, over a light green garment, with a brown strap across her shoulder. To her right, three other women are partially visible, facing slightly right. Each wears a similar brown hat, a white sheer shawl or overlay with green embellishments, and a multi-tiered white skirt with extensive white fringe and a green underskirt. Two of these women are holding small, dark, furry, animal-like figures. The fifth individual in the foreground, on the far right, is seen from behind, wearing a dark gray, textured coat. In the midground and background, numerous men are present, most dressed in elaborate red and gold ornate jackets with prominent shoulders, dark pants, and dark footwear. Several of these men are positioned near or are holding large, silver-colored cylindrical objects, indicative of drums or other percussion instruments. A few individuals in white shirts are also visible among this group. Small, light-colored particles, consistent with confetti, are suspended in the air. The setting is an urban street with a dark, paved surface. On the left, a building with a vibrant blue facade and white-framed windows is visible. On the right, a light-colored stone building with an arched wooden doorway is prominent, with a gray street light pole in front of it. Two silver cylindrical bins are situated in the midground, near the group of men. Green foliage from trees is visible at the top of the frame. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
