The image presents a sunlit scene along the Leie river in Ghent, Belgium, specifically capturing the historic Graslei. The foreground is dominated by the murky, olive-toned water of the canal, showing ripples and reflections of the architecture. A white boat hull and a portion of a red garment are visible in the lower right, indicating the viewpoint is from a vessel on the water. Along the far bank, a row of multi-story, historic buildings with distinct step-gabled facades lines the quay under a clear blue sky with scattered white clouds. These structures exhibit brick and stone construction in varying shades of red, brown, and grey, featuring numerous windows. Prominent among them is an ornate Guild House with a tall, slender spire, situated slightly to the right of the image's center. The quay level features several outdoor dining establishments with black awnings providing shade over tables and chairs. Numerous individuals are visible on the quay; some are seated at these establishments, while others are standing or walking. A rack containing multiple bicycles is present along the quay railing. Directly moored at the quay in the mid-ground is a long, white, narrow boat. Further down the canal to the right, additional boats, including a larger white passenger vessel, are visible on the water. The scene depicts a vibrant urban environment with leisure activities in progress during daylight hours.
