An elderly individual sits on a low stool on a grey paver sidewalk in Dongcheng District, China, operating a street vending stall. The individual wears a yellow knit cap, a white disposable face mask, a purple floral jacket over a maroon top, blue pants, and red socks. Their hands are clasped in their lap. A makeshift wooden table covered with a striped white tablecloth in front of them displays an array of small goods for sale, including postcards, multi-colored beaded bracelets, gold-colored decorative items, and various trinkets. Under the table are plastic bags. To the individual's right, a smaller wooden stool holds additional plastic-wrapped circular items. Behind the vendor, a commercial building features reddish-brown stone cladding, large glass display windows exhibiting trophies and other items, and multiple metallic cylindrical support columns. Further left along the sidewalk, several electric scooters are parked beneath the building's overhang. A tree with green foliage is situated to the right of the vendor, casting shadows. A white sign with red Chinese characters, indicating "No Parking," is visible on the building wall.
