The cupola replaced in 1842 by a tower and steeple adorns the building that is surrounded by a brick wall and ironwork fencing that exposes the church cemetery. Pedestrians, prominently women, and possibly parishioners, walk on the sidewalk. A woman street vendor with her table of wares sits near the wall at the corner. Also shows several trees on the grounds of the church and a lady attired in a broad-rimmed hat with veil standing on the opposite street corner in the right of the image.
