The image depicts a panoramic view of the Place de la Concorde in Paris, France, at sunset, observed from a slightly elevated position within the Jardin des Tuileries. In the foreground, a dark gravel path occupies the lower half of the frame. To the left, a dense cluster of bare tree branches, silhouetted against the sky, extends downwards and rightwards into the upper left quadrant. Several green metal chairs are scattered across the path, some empty, others occupied by individuals. One person is seated facing right, their back to the viewer, while another stands near a stone balustrade that runs horizontally across the midground, separating the gravel area from the expansive square beyond. The midground reveals the Place de la Concorde under the warm glow of the setting sun, which appears as a bright orange disc low on the horizon, slightly left of center. The square is populated by numerous small, dark figures of pedestrians. Distinct landmarks include the Luxor Obelisk, standing tall and slender on the right side of the square. Ornate, multi-lamp streetlights are visible along the balustrade and within the square. Distant buildings are discernible on the left horizon, partially obscured by the sun's glare. In the background, the Eiffel Tower rises prominently, positioned behind the Obelisk but further in the distance. The sky transitions from a brilliant orange and yellow hue at the horizon to a clear, pale blue at the top of the frame. The overall lighting suggests late afternoon or early evening, casting long shadows and creating a silhouette effect for many foreground elements.
