A historical painting depicts a daytime scene outside the Cabildo de Montevideo, located in the Ciudad Vieja district of Montevideo, Uruguay. The central feature is a light-colored, classical-style building with a prominent arched entrance flanked by pilasters or columns, topped by an entablature and a relief carving. A rectangular window is visible on the building's left facade. In the foreground and midground, approximately 15 to 20 male figures are assembled. They are dressed in formal 19th-century attire, including long coats (blue, brown, red, green variants), trousers, and top hats. Three figures in the left foreground are positioned with their backs partially to the viewer, one in a blue coat, and two in brown coats, appearing to interact. The remaining figures are gathered on the steps and plaza directly in front of the building's entrance. Their postures suggest an organized public gathering or event. The ground is a light-colored surface, possibly paved stone, with visible shadows. The sky above the building is light blue. The overall image has a soft, somewhat faded appearance, indicative of an aged artwork.
