The cart is festooned with multicoloured streamers, floral and striped fabric, a rainbow-arched frame and a canopy top. Behind it, a long procession of people dressed in white walks along the road, many carrying flags and banners, including one reading GERMANY and another labelled FRANCE, with a saffron flag and small umbrella-like canopy visible among them. On the right, more participants in white and colourful clothes line the embankment. A red truck stands at the left edge. Trees, utility poles and a distant hillside complete the scene.
