The image depicts an urban street scene at the Place de la Bastille in Paris, France. The Colonne de Juillet, a tall grey column surmounted by a dark statue of a robed figure, stands prominently on the left, partially silhouetted against a dynamic sky. The sky features widespread white and grey altocumulus clouds, displaying both mottled and streaky patterns, with warmer, yellowish-orange hues near the horizon on the right. The foreground contains a multi-lane asphalt road marked with white crosswalk stripes, a bicycle lane symbol, and delineated by black and white striped bollards. Several pedestrians are visible, with one crossing the road from left to right in the mid-ground and others gathered on sidewalks. Vehicular traffic includes multiple cars, some stopped at a prominent red traffic light on the right side of the frame. A white and green articulated bus is visible in the mid-ground moving from left to right, and other buses are stationary further down the street on the left. On the left side, behind the column, an older, light-colored building is partially visible through the bare branches of several trees, suggesting an autumnal or winter setting. Additional streetlights with curved arms are positioned throughout the scene. The overall lighting suggests late afternoon or early evening.
