View of a woman bending over a squatting child on the sidewalk of an urban street. Behind the woman is a man with a cigarette in one hand, standing next to a baby carriage. Posters advertising "RINGLING BROS & BARNUM & BAILEY" are plastered on the facades of apartment buildings behind them. To the left of the advertisements, on a door, are posters that read "POLSKA ŻYJE / PONAD SIŁY" [Poland Lives / Beyond Strength]. Further down the street, people sit on the stoops of apartment buildings.
