On the table, a set of writing utensils is laid out. The sidewalk opens onto a broad road paved with cobblestones. The other side of the road is lined with trees. The sidewalk behind the trees is frequented by pedestrians and lined by a wall belonging to an imposing historical edifice. The two men are plea writers (arzuhalci) in the Hagia Sophia area, probably before the introduction of the Latin alphabet, since soon afterwards most plea writers began to use the typewriter.
