The scene depicts a portion of Town Hall Square in Riga, Latvia, featuring the Statue of Roland and the spire of St. Peter's Church against a clear blue sky. In the foreground, slightly to the right, stands a light-colored stone statue of Roland, a male figure depicted in armor. He holds a long, thin sword vertically in his right hand and a tall, rectangular shield in his left hand, which rests on a stone pedestal. The shield features an intricately carved emblem of a fortified city gatehouse. To the left and behind the statue, a multi-story building with a dark grey or black facade, adorned with white rectangular window frames and decorative horizontal bands, occupies the mid-ground. Its steeply pitched roof, constructed from dark brown metal panels, includes multiple dormer windows and two brick chimneys. Dominating the upper left of the image is the tall, slender, green-patinated copper spire of St. Peter's Church. The spire is multi-tiered with open arched sections and culminates in a golden sphere topped with a golden rooster weathervane. In the upper-middle section of the clear, deep blue sky, a distinct crescent moon is visible. A fragment of a red-tiled roof is visible to the right of the statue, belonging to an adjacent building.
