In the lower portion, a group of people wearing muted clothing in shades of brown, gray, dark green, and touches of red are gathered and bent over, forming a crowded scene in front of a few buildings. One building on the right has a pale beige facade and a darker roof, while a larger dark structure with vertical elements and a blade-like silhouette rises behind and to the left of it, partially illuminated by the warm glow. The overall palette is dominated by black, dark brown, reddish-brown, beige, yellow, and small accents of red and gray.
