The painting depicts a quiet corner of the city, illuminated by soft light. In the center of the composition is an ancient archway leading to the courtyard. The silhouette of a balcony and a motorcycle can be seen in the depths, giving the scene an atmosphere of lively city life. An elderly man in a blue shirt sits in the foreground, passionately writing something down in a notebook. He is surrounded by several pigeons, which adds to the coziness. The color scheme of the painting is gentle and soft, which creates a sense of calm and peace.
