The image depicts an aircraft on a flat concrete surface, likely at an airfield. The airplane is a biplane, showcasing a prominent wingspan with a striped upper wing design. It has identifiable markings, including the number "144" and the name "DORNIER MERKUR" displayed on its side. In the foreground, two individuals—dressed in long coats—are standing near the aircraft. One appears to be examining it, while the other is positioned to the side, looking on. The setting suggests a chilly or overcast day, as indicated by the clothing styles. In the background, there are several structures. To the right, a building with a prominent sign reads "BUDAPEST / MITS FIELD." It features multiple windows and a gabled roof, contributing to its distinctive appearance. Further back, another building with a wooden façade is visible, along with a grassy area and a low fence that separates the field from the structures. There are also a few more individuals observed near the entrance of the main building, engaging in conversation or awaiting something. The overall atmosphere is quiet, characteristic of an early aviation scene, with a slight hint of anticipation surrounding the aircraft.
