Description

A city street showing an injured man leaning on a street wall with his crouches flanking his sides. One on them lays on the ground as the other is propped up. With a knitted brow he looks down. On his right is a rich man in a fedora and fur coat, carrying several gifts. He walks past heeding the injured man in no way. On the left is a rich woman grasping her wallet. She wears a fur hat and coat, looking behind Teheran towards the rich man.
