The image depicts Place de la Concorde in Paris, France, observed from an elevated position within the Tuileries Garden during either sunrise or sunset. The sky transitions from a bright orange-yellow near the horizon on the left to a pale blue overhead, with a faint crescent moon visible in the upper right quadrant. In the immediate foreground, silhouetted bare tree branches occupy the upper left corner. Below, a gravel path is visible, with a stone balustrade forming a protective barrier along the mid-ground. Two silhouetted individuals walk left along the path, while a third silhouetted person is seated facing away from the viewer in a dark green metal chair on the right; an empty identical chair is nearby. Beyond the balustrade, the expansive Place de la Concorde is populated by numerous small, silhouetted figures of people scattered across its surface. Ornate, multi-lamp streetlights are distributed throughout the square. On the far right, part of a large classical stone statue is visible above the balustrade line. In the background, the Eiffel Tower stands silhouetted against the horizon, positioned slightly to the right of the visible sun. The Luxor Obelisk rises prominently as a dark silhouette in the center-right. The sun, a distinct orange disk, is low on the left horizon, emitting a strong glare. Distant urban buildings and tree lines complete the horizon.
