The scene depicts a busy interior public thoroughfare in Dongcheng District, China. High on a wall, a large, horizontally oriented artwork features red blossoms on dark, gnarled branches, accompanied by Chinese calligraphy on a light background, set within an ornate white frame. Below this artwork, a wide passageway is illuminated by numerous recessed circular lights in a grid-patterned, light-brown ceiling. Dark, polished pillars frame the entrance to this passageway. On the upper left wall of the passageway, a sign displays the Chinese characters "王府井." Approximately fifteen to twenty individuals, predominantly adults, are present in the foreground and mid-ground, engaged in walking. They are attired in various winter garments, including puffer jackets in colors such as light green, camouflage-patterned, yellow, and black. Several individuals are pulling rolling suitcases, indicating travel or transit. The floor is light-colored and appears tiled. The background reveals an open, brightly lit area, possibly an exit or another section of the building.
