An elevated, wide-angle shot captures the Grand Place (Grote Markt) in Brussels, Belgium, on an overcast and wet day. The cobblestone square is visibly damp, with reflections of light indicating recent rain or ongoing precipitation. On the left, the intricate Gothic facade and towering spire of the Brussels Town Hall are partially visible, featuring flags on its upper sections. Opposite it, on the right side of the frame, stands the ornate, arcaded King's House (Broodhuis), its dark stone architecture detailed under the cloudy sky. Surrounding the square are other historic guildhalls with characteristic stepped gables and decorative elements. In the foreground and midground, a large, elevated outdoor dining area with dark wooden barriers contains numerous empty tables and chairs, most covered by closed, dark green patio umbrellas. A street sign in the lower left corner reads "RUE DES CHAPELIERS / HOEDENMAKERSSTRAAT". Numerous pedestrians populate the square, walking in various directions. Many individuals are holding open umbrellas, predominantly black, but also white and pink, due to the wet conditions. A lone bicycle is visible in the midground, near a pedestrian. Further back, near the center of the square, a dark horse-drawn carriage can be seen. The overall scene depicts a functional, active public space despite the inclement weather.
