In a busy city street of Brussels, Belgium in the 1920s, a grey-haired old woman is bending over to shine the leather shoes of a young man. She, hatless, is dressed in a black winter coat covered by a black shawl. He is dressed in a fine wool overcoat, homberg hat and black trousers. The woman has several brushes and a chair behind her. The man's foot is on a box clearly marked "Nugget Polish" The city street is quite busy, with public transit and people walking and waiting nearby.
