This painting depicts an elevated view overlooking a bridge and surrounding area. The horizon is high in the composition, lined with dark blue and black buildings on the distant shore. Closest to us, in the bottom right corner, is a small structure in shades of orange, light blue, and brown with a pointed green roof. A street leads across the bottom of the painting and then curves around this structure, leading to a stone bridge that crosses over a green and blue river. The street that leads across the bridge is lined with dark shapes and lampposts, as well as some shapes that could be cars or carts. The brushstrokes are broad and dynamic, with a loose, impressionistic style. The color palette consists of cool blues and grays, with warmer tones of cream, tan, and brown.
