At center is the porch area of a building that is labeled "Locanda Del Congresso"; standing at the end of the porch is a group of men who are delegates to the Congress of Berlin, they are holding bottles and bones like those in the street before them, they are unidentified, but among the countries represented are England, Italy, Russia, and Austria. Otto von Bismarck is standing on the far right, at the entrance to the building, at his feet is an emaciated dog labeled "Turco". He has come out to meet the latest arrival.
