The scene captures a nocturnal street in a commercial district of Boston, United States, featuring a paved sidewalk constructed from rectangular paver stones. Two primary subjects are in motion, walking from left to right. The subject on the left wears dark trousers and black sneakers with white soles and a white star emblem; they hold a red bag and a white item in their left hand. The subject on the right wears a dark dress, nude hosiery, and black slingback high-heeled shoes with a frontal embellishment; they hold a red bag and a white item in their right hand. In the blurred background, storefront reflections are visible, including a merchandise display behind a partially lowered metal security gate on the left. Other pedestrians are faintly discernible further down the street. A prominent, elongated shadow, consistent with that of the photographer, is cast on the damp pavement in the foreground, with a discernible raised arm.
