The image presents a street-level view of a multi-story building identified as the Préfecture de Police, located at the corner of Quai des Orfèvres and Rue de Lutèce on the Île de la Cité in Paris, France. The prominent building is a classic Haussmannian structure, characterized by its light-colored stone facade, ornate wrought-iron balconies, and a grey mansard roof with multiple dormer windows. The ground floor clearly displays "PREFECTURE DE POLICE" in dark sans-serif lettering against a lighter background. Two French national flags are mounted on the building's facade to the right of the primary signage. Windows on the upper floors feature small wrought-iron railings, and many have external roller shutters, some partially or fully lowered. The street scene in the foreground is populated by approximately a dozen pedestrians, generally moving from left to right. Individuals are dressed in various winter coats and jackets. A distinct figure wears a bright red beret and a matching red top. A tall, ornate black streetlamp stands centrally in the lower-mid foreground. To its left, a traffic light displays a red signal. A partially visible blue street sign is attached to the streetlamp's base. Further right, a red circular "no entry" sign is visible. In the distance, a white vehicle and a person on a bicycle are discernible on the street. Bare tree branches are visible on the left and right sides, indicating a non-foliage season. The sky is overcast, suggesting a cloudy day.
