In this street scene, Jamal has depicted two dogs barking at a motorcycle rikshaw which is preceded by a cyclist and a woman. A soldier stands near the dogs. The figures are partly concealed by bars. Through a barred window, as if to enhance the general sense of claustrophobia, the artist has depicted mountains.
