The image displays the ornate upper portions of historical buildings located on the Grand Place (Grote Markt) in Brussels, Belgium. The central and most prominent structure is identified as the Guild House of the Brewers ("Maison des Brasseurs") by a partial gold inscription reading "MAISON DE V... BRASSEURS." The sky is overcast with light grey clouds. The buildings are constructed primarily of grey stone with extensive gold ornamentation. At the apex of the central building, a large golden equestrian statue of a historical figure, possibly Charles of Lorraine, is positioned. The rider points forward and slightly left. This statue rests on a pedestal adorned with elaborate golden foliate designs and a crest. To the right of the statue, the year "1698" is inscribed in gold digits on the facade. Below the equestrian statue, the building features multiple levels of intricate architecture. Decorative grey stone sculptures, including standing and reclining figures, are integrated into the roofline and facade. Gold garlands and panels enhance the decorative elements. A curved pediment holds an inscription, partially visible as "ANNO," above the "MAISON DE V... BRASSEURS" inscription. Below this, multiple tall rectangular windows with dark panes are visible, framed by grey stone columns. Some columns are partially adorned with spiraling golden floral patterns at their bases and golden capitals. To the left, another grey stone building with similar architectural details and gold accents is visible, featuring multiple windows and a decorated roofline. To the right, an adjacent building continues the same style, displaying more windows, decorative gold panels, and a small, ornate bay window section. No human figures are present in the visible portion of the image.
