The image displays an urban waterfront scene in Paris, France, specifically capturing the area around the Pont Neuf and Île de la Cité. The upper two-thirds of the frame are occupied by a uniform, overcast grey sky. In the mid-ground, classical multi-story Parisian buildings with mansard roofs and light-colored facades line the riverbanks. Prominently featured on what appears to be the Square du Vert-Galant, an equestrian statue of Henry IV stands on a stone pedestal, facing right. To the right of the statue, a building's facade is dominated by a large black-and-white billboard. This billboard displays two older men with grey hair, dressed in dark clothing, positioned close together, leaning forward with their hands visible. Architectural details typical of Parisian design are observable above and around the billboard. A stone quay or bridge structure runs horizontally across the lower mid-ground, with vehicle traffic visible on its surface to the right of the statue. Below the quay, on the Seine River, a large passenger boat is docked, with the text "VEDETTES DU PONT-NEUF" prominently displayed in white lettering on a dark panel. To the right, part of a second white boat with windows is visible, bearing the text "THE MOST PARISIAN CRUISE." A smaller, orange boat is also present further back near the quay. The scene is observed on an overcast day, with trees largely devoid of leaves, indicating late autumn or winter.
