The image displays a multi-story stone facade of the Royal Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real de Madrid) in Madrid, Spain, viewed from a low, upward angle against a clear, deep blue sky. The building features a light grey, block-cut stone exterior with lighter, possibly marble, pilasters and ornate decorative elements. Visible across three floors, numerous windows are present. The upper two visible floors feature rectangular windows with elaborate surrounds, including pediments and, in one instance on the second floor, a sculpted head above the window opening. Several of these windows are fronted by black wrought-iron Juliet balconies. The lowest visible floor shows simpler windows, some fitted with closed white louvered shutters. Prominent shadows from architectural features are cast diagonally across the facade, indicating strong sunlight. A black, ornate streetlamp with two lanterns is partially visible in the lower-left foreground. No people, animals, or vehicles are present in the scene.
