The image shows a building with a red-brick facade and unique architectural design. The viewer looks towards the corner of the building, emphasizing its features. The horizon is high in the scene, with the top of the building and the sky in the distance. The building has arched entrances and a cupola with gold detailing. The painting combines watercolor and line work with loose brushstrokes. The color palette includes warm tones for the building and a clear blue sky. A patch of light pavement leads towards the building, shaded in muted tones. The overall style is impressionistic.
