The image is a black and white illustration of a man and a woman in a market scene. The man is standing on the right side of the image, wearing a long coat and a hat, and is holding a basket of fruit in his left hand. He is gesturing with his right hand as if he is explaining something to the woman. On the left side, there is a woman wearing a hat and a long dress, carrying a basket full of fruit. She is standing in front of a group of people, some of whom are lying on the ground and some are standing. In the background, there are buildings and a banner with the word "Amsterdam" written on it. The sky is cloudy and the overall mood of the illustration is somber.
