The image depicts a detailed view of the Rathaus (Town Hall) in Basel, Switzerland, under a clear blue sky. The building's facade is predominantly a vibrant red. Its prominent roof features a steep pitch and is covered with a patterned mosaic of red, white, and dark green glazed tiles. A golden finial tops a spire on the roof, with a white chimney visible to its right and a smaller golden statue on a gable peak. The upper section of the building features decorative balustrades with intricate blue and green scrollwork designs. Numerous rectangular windows with dark green frames are visible throughout the facade; many are equipped with light blue, slatted shutters, some open, some closed. Two multi-story oriel windows or bay projections extend from the left side of the facade, adorned with detailed green foliage relief and golden-orange sculptural elements, possibly stylized birds or griffins, below the window sills. To the right, a section of the facade displays a row of heraldic shields along its upper edge, including the coat of arms featuring a black bear on a white field. Below these shields, between windows, are large frescoes or murals depicting human figures in historical dress. Decorative friezes with geometric and floral patterns are present across this section. To the far left, a portion of a plainer, modern-looking building with a light grey facade and rectangular windows is visible. No people are present in the scene.
