The image is a black and white photograph of a narrow alleyway with two trash cans on either side. The alleyway is made of cobblestones and is lined with buildings on both sides. In the center of the image, there is a man standing next to one of the trash cans, holding a cigarette in his hand. He appears to be throwing it into one of them. The man is wearing a jacket and has a serious expression on his face. The image is taken from a low angle, looking down the alleyway towards the street.
