The image depicts a daytime scene on the Leie river in Ghent, Belgium, looking towards the Old Fish Market (Oude Vismijn) at Sint-Veerleplein. In the foreground, a yellow and dark grey inflatable raft occupies the murky water. Six individuals are seated within the raft, five of whom wear red-orange life vests. The sixth individual, positioned on the far right, is wearing dark clothing and a dark life vest is not clearly visible. Each person holds a paddle with a yellow blade, with some paddles partially submerged or held aloft. To the left, a section of a stone arch bridge, likely part of the Sint-Michielsbrug, frames the scene with an ornate streetlamp visible at its apex. A stone quay runs along the riverbank in the midground, separated from the water by a dark metal railing. Three bicycles are parked along this railing: two dark-framed city bikes and one lighter-framed bicycle, partially obscured by two piles of light-colored sand or gravel. Further back on the quay, a person on a bicycle ascends a stone staircase leading away from the river. The background is dominated by the prominent Oude Vismijn, a multi-story building constructed from light-colored stone, featuring elaborate Gothic or Neo-Gothic architectural elements, including a large stepped gable, numerous windows with decorative tracery, turrets, and carvings. Four dark flags are mounted on poles on its facade. To the right of the Oude Vismijn, a traditional Flemish building with a red-brick facade and a stepped gable is visible, partially obscured by a dark street light pole. The sky above is bright blue with scattered white cumulus clouds.
