The image depicts an outdoor scene on a paved sidewalk adjacent to a large, ancient stone wall identified as part of the Citadel of Damascus in Syria. In the mid-ground, a middle-aged male, appearing bald with a dark beard, is barefoot and leaning against the base of the stone wall. He is wearing a dark tracksuit jacket with three white stripes on the sleeves and dark trousers. He is bent over a black duffel bag on the ground, interacting with its contents, and is looking towards the camera. The wall is constructed from large, irregularly shaped, light-colored stone blocks, extending into the background. In the immediate foreground, to the right, the back and right shoulder of an individual wearing a black t-shirt and a black backpack are visible. In the lower left foreground, a portion of another person's arm is visible. The sidewalk is paved with rectangular grey slabs. To the left of the sidewalk, an unpaved, uneven area contains rubble and sparse dry vegetation. Further in the background, along the wall, several indistinct figures are visible walking away from the camera. Beyond the unpaved area, a street with vehicles and distant buildings can be discerned under a bright sky.
