The image shows a street scene at night in Alicante, Spain, likely during the Fallas festival. Dominating the foreground are two large, cartoonish effigies of men's heads and upper torsos. The larger effigy on the left, with blonde hair and a golden crown, is depicted with a distressed expression and is adorned with a feathered, teal and dark blue garment. The smaller effigy on the right has gray hair and is also wearing a similar garment. Both figures are mounted on what appears to be a gravel-covered base, with portions of their bodies visible and painted with a bird-like plumage. In front of the larger effigy, a sign with a decorative border displays text in Spanish. The sign reads: "Dos buitres carroñeros tienen sed de sangre y dolor, pues los vemos muy enteros, mientras siembran el terror." This translates to: "Two scavenger vultures thirst for blood and pain, for we see them very whole, while they sow terror." Behind the effigies, illuminated by streetlights and decorative festival lights, are buildings and traffic barriers. The overall setting suggests an outdoor public space, decorated for a festive occasion. The focus is on the satirical or critical depiction of the figures through the effigies, a common practice in Valencian festivals. in Alicante/alacant, Spain
