The scene is set in Hamburg, Germany, prominently featuring the Hamburg Rathaus (City Hall) under a clear blue sky. In the immediate foreground, the Hygieia-Fountain is visible, constructed from dark, oxidized bronze. Water actively flows from an upper basin into a larger, circular lower basin. The fountain's central sculpture depicts a draped female figure, Hygieia, holding a bowl aloft, with a dragon at her feet. The multi-story Hamburg Rathaus building occupies the midground and background. Its facade is constructed from light-colored, intricately carved stone in a Neo-Renaissance style. The building features numerous arched and rectangular windows with decorative frames, along with statues positioned in niches and on architectural elements. A long, dark-railed balcony extends across the lower visible section of the facade. The building is topped with steep, gabled roofs covered in oxidized green copper. Multiple ornate spires and turrets rise from the roofline, each adorned with statuary and finials, including a prominent central spire on the main section of the building. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, casting distinct shadows. No individuals are present in the frame.
