This nocturnal image displays the exterior of the Moulin Rouge cabaret, located on Boulevard de Clichy in the Pigalle district of Paris, France. The central subject is the iconic red windmill structure, illuminated with bright red and golden lights, prominently featuring large, crisscross-patterned blades. Below the windmill, the main building displays a vibrant blue neon sign spelling "MOULIN ROUGE," with an additional vertical blue neon sign partially visible to the right. Below these signs, large display windows reveal colorful promotional imagery or performers. The foreground depicts a street scene with several dark-colored vehicles, identified as Parisian taxis by their illuminated "TAXI PARISIEN" roof signs, indicating a queue or traffic. Reflections of neon lights are visible on their glossy surfaces. On the left, a tall, ornate street lamp emits a warm yellow light, and a blue square sign with "TAXIS" in white text is mounted on a pole. Several indistinct human figures are discernible on the sidewalk in front of the cabaret, appearing to be pedestrians or patrons. The overall environment is an urban street illuminated by numerous artificial light sources against a dark night sky.
