The scene depicts Schloss Burgsteinfurt in Burgsteinfurt, Germany, under an overcast sky. The primary subject is a large, multi-story building with a light-grey or white stucco facade and a reddish-brown tiled roof. Seven brick chimneys are visible along the roofline. The building's walls feature numerous rectangular windows, mostly with white frames. In front of the building, a manicured green lawn extends to a dark, reflective body of water, likely a moat, which mirrors the cloudy sky and surrounding vegetation. Several bare deciduous trees with dark, gnarled branches are positioned between the building and the water. Clumps of yellow-flowering plants, consistent with daffodils, are visible along the water's edge and near the building's foundation. A tall, sculpted dark green hedge is present at the far right corner of the building. The immediate foreground reveals a moss and grass-covered earthen bank, supported by a gabion wall constructed from wire cages filled with rocks, which borders the dark water. No human figures or discernible activities are present within the frame. The sky is largely white and light grey with diffuse clouds.
