This painting depicts a street scene featuring an Afro-Uruguayan Candombe performance in a historic district of Montevideo, Uruguay, likely the Barrio Sur or Palermo neighborhood. The foreground presents a group of approximately eight individuals, including adults and children, engaged in musical performance and dance. Three adult males are visible playing tamboriles (Candombe drums): one male in a red shirt and blue pants carries a drum centrally, another male in a light-colored shirt and blue pants plays a larger drum on the right, and a third male in a blue top is partially visible on the far left, also with a drum. Several individuals are depicted dancing: an adult female in a brown top and pink skirt with raised arms, a small child in a red outfit with raised arms, and an adult female in a blue top and white patterned skirt. Another small child in blue is on the far left. The figures have dark skin tones. The background features two multi-story buildings of stone or stucco construction, characterized by ornate wrought-iron balconies and arched windows. The building on the left has a distinctive curved facade with multiple windows and a prominent balcony. Windows display green or light blue frames/shutters. The building on the right features a large arched entrance door with light blue detailing. The sky above is light blue with scattered white clouds. The overall scene suggests a vibrant daytime street celebration.
