The image is an etching of the Luxembourg Palace as seen from the garden side from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is near the upper third of the image, showing the palace structure meeting the sky. The palace, with its classic architectural details, is intricately detailed through precise, linear engravings. To the left, a row of trees runs parallel to a stone wall, depicted with delicate cross-hatching representing foliage. The color palette is monochromatic, with rich brown ink on cream-colored paper. People in period clothing are shown closer to us, while figures in the distance appear to be walking leisurely.
