In the image several figures appear in an arched courtyard walking in a row to the left. To the far left is a boy with a dog. Behind him appears a young woman and an old woman next to her. The old woman has her head covered and a rosary in her hand. Behind the young woman appears a man looking at her attentively and three more figures appear to the right. By the title it is understood that the old woman acts as a procuress for the young woman and the man as her client.
