It depicts 41 colorfully dressed women standing in the windows of a brownstone building on East 58th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and two other women on the sidewalk near a Rolls-Royce car. Since the building had been gutted of electricity and gas – there was a gaping hole on the sidewalk.
