The image shows a street scene with a perspective that reveals both the distance and width of the street. The horizon is uneven with silhouettes of buildings, including one with a dome-like structure. The fine brushstrokes add detail, emphasizing the reflections on the wet pavement and rain. The color scheme is monochromatic in shades of black, gray, and off-white. Figures with umbrellas, a child, and a dog are near, with horse-drawn carriages and a tram further away. Various shops and electric streetlamps line the street.
