The painting depicts people in the middle of a street surrounded by buildings. The painting is over simplified by use of random brushstrokes to capture this ephemeral moment. The illusion of space and depth is achieved through perspective and tonal variation. Objects on the foreground are large compared to those on the background. However, the details of the objects are unrealistic and simplified as if to capture this moment as it lasts. The painting thus portrays the notion of change as a result of time. Moments are short-lived and we should embrace them when they last.
