A horse-drawn carriage, identified as a traditional Viennese Fiaker, is depicted on a grey asphalt road in Michaelerplatz, Vienna, Austria, in front of the Michaelertrakt of the Hofburg Palace. The carriage is dark red with white side panels and features spoked wheels. Two light-colored horses are partially visible on the left, harnessed to the carriage. A male driver, wearing a black coat and a black fedora-style hat, is seated at the front of the carriage, facing away from the viewer. Six passengers are visible within the carriage. In the front row, a female with curly brown hair and a beige jacket is seated on the right, facing left and smiling, engaging in conversation with a male passenger in a grey shirt seated to her left. Other passengers are partially obscured behind them. A small white floral decoration is attached to the left side of the driver's seat. The background is dominated by the ornate stone facade of the Hofburg Palace, characterized by alternating horizontal bands of light and dark grey stone. A large, recessed arched niche within the facade houses the 'Fountain of Power at Sea' (Macht zu Wasser), a prominent marble sculpture depicting classical figures. The central figure is a crowned nude female with raised arms, standing above multiple male figures, including one holding a trident, and sea creatures. Arched windows with dark frames and decorative balustrades are visible on the upper portions of the building. The sky is overcast.
