The image displays a dusk or nocturnal scene in the Petite France quarter of Strasbourg, France, alongside a tranquil river or canal. The foreground consists of dark water, which prominently reflects warm yellow light emanating from illuminated windows of structures on the far bank. On the left bank, a wooden pier with steps descends to the water. Two human figures are positioned on this pier: one standing upright, dressed in dark attire, and a second, smaller individual crouched near the water's edge. Three white swans are swimming in the water directly adjacent to the pier. The far bank is occupied by a linear arrangement of multi-story historic buildings. The leftmost structure is a half-timbered building with white infill and dark timber beams, topped by a reddish-brown tiled roof featuring multiple dormer windows. Adjacent buildings are constructed from light-colored stucco or stone, also presenting numerous windows and red-tiled dormer roofs. Several ground-level windows of the buildings on the right are brightly lit. Dense green foliage and mature trees line both riverbanks, partially obscuring the lower portions of the buildings. A narrow, dark metal footbridge with railings spans the river on the right side of the frame. The sky above is dark blue with subtle cloud formations.
