The scene depicts a fork in an unpaved road in Iperó, Brazil, rendered in black and white. In the foreground, the compacted dirt or gravel road surface shows texture variations and minor depressions. To the immediate left, a portion of a low, masonry fence or wall, partially obscured by low vegetation, marks the roadside. Further left, a small, single-story building with white, peeling plaster walls and a terracotta-tiled gabled roof is visible. A rectangular opening, possibly a boarded-up doorway, is centered on its visible facade, with a small, dark window opening to its left. A wooden utility pole, supporting multiple overhead wires, stands in the mid-ground between the building and the road. To the right of the road, an overgrown embankment with tall grass and dense foliage lines the path. A large tree with numerous hanging seed pods and sparse leaves extends over the road from the right side, partially obscuring a dark, corrugated overhang of an unseen structure. The road itself forks in the mid-ground, with one path veering left towards the building and another continuing generally straight into a densely vegetated background. The sky is uniformly overcast. No individuals or animals are present.
