The image displays a nighttime scene along the Left Bank of the River Seine in Paris, France, with a general west-northwest perspective. In the foreground, a darkened paved promenade features a low stone balustrade. Approximately eight to ten silhouetted individuals are present on the promenade; some are standing, while one figure is observed leaning forward over the balustrade. A red and white striped barrier with an amber light is partially visible in the bottom right corner. The mid-ground contains the dark surface of the River Seine, reflecting ambient city lights. Spanning the river is a multi-arched stone bridge, identified as the Pont du Carrousel, its arches and deck illuminated. In the background, on the far left (Right Bank), the classical facade of the Louvre Museum is distinctly illuminated. Further in the distance, to the right of the bridge, the illuminated Eiffel Tower stands prominently against the dark, clear night sky. Distant city lights are visible along the horizon. The scene is illuminated primarily by artificial light sources from the urban environment.
