The image shows a street view of Paris with the Arc de Triomphe on the right. The perspective is from street level, highlighting the grand arch. The horizon is partly obscured by buildings and traffic. Buildings with red roofs are to the left. The style is impressionistic with lively brushstrokes indicating movement. The color palette includes soft blues, pinks, and beiges, with touches of vibrant green from trees. Figures in black strokes depict carriages and pedestrians. A crowd near the Arc de Triomphe adds depth in the distance.
