She is next to three women and a boy who are seated. The boy wears a straw hat and has a pair of wooden clogs in his lap. There are several signs and posters on the building; the one directly above the seated group appears to be a schedule and is titled "HOLLANDSCHE IJZEREN SPOORWEG-MAATSCHAPPIJ. / STOOMTRAMWEGEN. / ..."
