A long passenger tour boat, identified as "BELLE STRASBOURGEOISE" by text on its side, navigates the Ill River in Strasbourg, France. The boat is white with purple trim on its bow and stern, featuring a continuous, curved glass roof. No discernible passengers are visible inside. It is traveling from left to right, creating a modest wake on the dark, rippled water. In the immediate foreground, a riverbank rises, densely covered with green ivy and scattered yellow and brown autumn leaves. Weeping willow branches, devoid of leaves, hang into the upper left of the frame. Along the left bank, a large, ornate stone building, identifiable as the Palais Rohan, dominates the midground. This multi-story structure exhibits classical architectural details, including numerous windows and decorative elements. A stone arch bridge extends from this bank. On the right bank, a row of evenly spaced deciduous trees with green to light-brown foliage lines the waterway. Behind these trees stand multi-story historic buildings with tiled roofs and chimneys. The distant background on the right features the distinctive, tall spire of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, partially obscured by other structures. The sky is uniformly overcast, casting a soft, diffuse light over the entire scene.
