The scene shows a group of men preparing traditional wicker toboggan sleds in front of a building with the sign "Grande Hotel Belmonte." The men are dressed in casual attire. One man is sitting inside one of the wicker toboggans while others appear to be adjusting or preparing the sleds. The sleds are positioned on what appears to be an asphalt road. Behind the men and sleds is a stone wall with a green gate and the hotel sign. To the right of the wall is a signpost indicating directions to "Funchal" and "Babosas." The background includes trees, suggesting the location is in a somewhat rural or mountainous area.
