The drawing captures the essence of daily life in the city, showcasing the juxtaposition of the grand architectural features in the distance with the mundane activities of the washerwomen in the foreground. Pennell's use of charcoal creates a sense of atmospheric depth, highlighting the play of light and shadow and the movement of figures.
