The image displays a night scene of historic fortifications and buildings bordering a body of water, identified as the Ill River in Strasbourg, France. A prominent, elongated two-story stone wall, part of a larger complex, extends horizontally across the mid-ground, featuring numerous small, uniformly spaced windows illuminated from within. This wall connects to two larger buildings with gabled, dark-tiled roofs; one on the left and a multi-story structure on the right, the latter exhibiting one notably bright, internally lit window. In the distant background, a slender church spire is visible above the left building, alongside a brightly illuminated green tree situated between the main structures. The calm, dark water occupying the lower half of the frame provides a clear, inverted reflection of the illuminated stonework and window lights. Dark, undefined foliage occupies the immediate lower right foreground. No individuals are present in the static scene.
