The image shows a street scene at night. A large building dominates the right side of the frame. Distant buildings and a cobbled street are visible, with figures and horse-drawn carriages in the scene. The brushstroke technique is dynamic, capturing texture and atmosphere. The color palette is monochromatic, with dark shadows and lighter areas. Pedestrians with umbrellas are depicted on the right with deep shadows. A lighter area on the left suggests a light source against the dark sky.
